Biography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I am a Consultant Physician and NHS Research Scotland Career Research Fellow. Since 2014, I have worked at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh where I specialise in Medicine for the Elderly and Parkinson\u2019s disease. I am an Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer, Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. I have a special interest in Parkinson\u2019s Disease and lead clinical research studies and quality improvement projects. I am committed to involving people with Parkinson\u2019s in research and my clinical work very much informs my research activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe that to develop better treatments we need strong partnerships between patients, NHS clinicians, academia and industry. With colleagues in Scotland, we are growing a translational clinical research programme for Parkinson\u2019s disease and associated neurodegenerative disorders with a view to increasing research capacity and delivery. Currently I am a member of the NIHR Neurodegeneration Studies Group where I represent Scotland on behalf of the CSO Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network (NDN) and the UK Parkinson\u2019s Disease Study Group. After qualifying from Dundee University medical School, I trained as a junior doctor in Dundee, Middlesbrough, New Zealand and Newcastle. It was in Newcastle that my interest in Parkinson\u2019s disease began and I was a Clinical Research Fellow with Prof David Burn at Newcastle University. My PhD thesis focused on the development of MRI as a potential biomarker for the evolution of cognitive impairment in Parkinson\u2019s. I live in Edinburgh with my wife and our daughter and dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
