Bio Blurb

I’m a former NHS head of department for clinical audit who specialised in assessment of clinical outcomes for cardiac surgery, cardiology and cardiac anaesthesia at a major UK teaching hospital. Before this I headed a statistical modelling section as a G7 government scientist working on a wide variety of projects.

My interest in COVID kicked-off back in April 2020 when debate centred around estimation of case fatality rates. Nothing ‘official’ made sense so I rolled my sleeves up. Since then I have spent upwards of 10k hours analysing various datasets, some of which are utterly unique.

From 2025 onward I shall be turning my attention outward to other health issues, starting with the curiosity that is the transmission of epidemic influenza. The impact of space weather on human health intrigues me; and the potential harms of electromagnetic radiation would seem to be another field ripe for rummaging among the numbers.

How It Works

If you take out a free subscription you will receive free-to-view articles in your email box whenever I can find time to pen them. Owing to time constraints my freebie articles are few and far between. What you won’t receive (or even be given notice of) is my fortnightly series of pay-to-view articles, so you’ll need to visit my Substack page online to see what I’m up to. Commenting and community features will also be disabled since these are reserved for paying subscribers.

If you take out a paid subscription you’ll automatically receive the full quota of premium content in your inbox along with access to my article archive. Comments will be enabled and we can chat about cake, beer and the nature of reality.
