Research

My research interests are in judgement and decision-making, clinical reasoning, and the study of intuitive expert thinking. I have over 100 publications and have held grants from the ESRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR,UKOTRF to study professional decision-making in various clinical domains. I have developed a range of on-line training resources to support the acquisition of professional decision-making skills in a number of fields, that have all been tested with RCTs and been shown to have a positive effect. These decision training resources are freely available at: https://fitnesstodrive.com http://www.elderfinancialabuse.co.uk/ https://referralprioritisation.com/ https://dietitianreferral.org/ https://colouredlensesandvisualstress.com/
