Research Interests
Not recruiting new PhD students at present due to senior management role in University.
Public outreach & key achievements
Research with Antrim Area Hospital over many years has been key to the development of the Medicines Optimisation Innovation Centre (MOIC) http://www.themoic.com/through collaboration with the Director of the latter centre (Professor Michael Scott).
Recently formed spin-out company (Continga - https://www.continga.co.uk/) - focus is on the use of mobile phone technology for the direct observation of therapy.

Alumni: Where are they now
Over my career to date, in addition to students from Northern Ireland, I have supervised a large number of international students, in particular students from the Middle East. Many of the latter students have taken up academic positions. Of particular note is my 'footprint' in Jordan where I have at least one alumnus of my PhD programme in each Scool of Pharmacy in Jordan.
