I joined the 9 1免费版下 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 9 1免费版下 of York, UK, in 1985 before going on to obtain my medical degree (BM) from the 9 1免费版下 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 9 1免费版下 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.
