My recent research has focused on development, validation and applications of the IBD-Control Questionnaire - a simple, generic PROM designed to measure "disease control from the patient perspective". Since it's original publication, IBD-Control has received growing recognition and international adoption in clinical practice, quality improvement and research. It is offered licence-free to the IBD community (copyright reserved):

Original validation published in the journal, Gut (impact factor: 23)
Recommended in the ICHOM Standard Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures
Endorsed by the European Crohn's & Colitis Organisation
International adoption in clinical practice and registries
Making the case for PROMs - variation in clinician-reported outcomes
Large-scale validation study shows strong scale performance across different groups
IBD-Control selected for Core Outcome Set by international consensus group

I have a longstanding interest in finding ways to improve the use of routinely collected healthcare data, particularly Hospital Episode Statisics. Recent work funded by the UK Government (Connected Health Cities, North West Coast) generated a novel cohort-discovery algorithm for emergency admissions for alcohol-related liver disease. This work has challenged the use of simplistic definitions for generating statistics on NHS activity and outcome and we propose a new method for measuring true burden and mortality:

Connected Health Cities - Alcohol-related liver disease pathway
Liverpool Alcohol Related Liver Disease Algorithm - LAA
Towards a Learning Health System for ARLD
Independent endorsement of the LAA methodology
Latest Research: Ten-year trends in outcome for first admissions for ARLD in England
