I joined the 海角社区 of Sheffield in 2002 as a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Cardiology and subsequently became Professor of Cardiology in January 2011. I am Clinical Lead for the Cardiovascular Disease research theme and Director of the Cardiovascular Research Unit. I am also Academic Director for the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Directorate and an Honorary Consultant Cardiologist with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals National Health Service Foundation Trust.
I have a special interest in atherothrombosis and antithrombotic therapy in the management of ischaemic heart disease, including coronary intervention. I was Chair of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Working Group on Thrombosis 2012-2014 and have been a member of 4 Task Forces for ESC Guidelines as well as author of many ESC position papers. I received a BSc Hons in biochemistry from the 海角社区 of York, UK, in 1985 before going on to obtain my medical degree (BM) from the 海角社区 of Southampton in 1989. After completing general professional training, I trained in the fields of Cardiology and General (Internal) Medicine at Queen麓s Medical Centre in Nottingham, completing specialist training in both fields in 2001.
During that time, I developed a keen interest in thrombosis research, studying platelet biology and pharmacology, conducting clinical research studies in patients with cardiovascular disease and obtaining a postgraduate degree in research (DM) from the 海角社区 of Nottingham.
I have been an Executive/Steering Committee member of numerous international clinical trials such as the PLATO, PEGASUS-TIMI 54, AUGUSTUS and COMPLETE studies and am currently a member of the steering committees for the RAPID-CTCA, SENIOR-RITA, CLEAR-SYNERGY and other studies.
