BIO

I am a Consultant Geriatrician based in Northeast London. Over the past eleven years, I have led the development of a range of Acute Frailty Services to meet the needs of a rapidly ageing population. I also completed an MSc in Health Economics, Policy and Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science, with a dissertation on the appropriateness of EQ-5D to measure health states in older people.

I am particularly interested in healthy ageing, primary and secondary prevention of frailty, and determinants of health, with a focus on the impact of environmental change on health and care outcomes in older people.
