Teaching
I teach content across all years of the MPharm degree course, with a focus on information gathering and interpretation; research methods; and communication skills. I also teach critical appraisal, research methods including study designs and data analysis/statistics, and other transferrable skills on the MSc Clinical Pharmacy course. Furthermore, I am actively engaged in supervising undergraduate (MPharm) as well as postgraduate taught (MSc Clin Pharm) and research (MPhil, PhD) students.
My main areas of interest are Public Health, and the intersection of medical/pharmaceutical topics and wider societal issues. In my teaching, I aim to spark interest in research among students, and strive to develop their skills holistically.

- Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) – apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban – have emerged and are being used as alternatives to vitamin k antagonists for the prevention and treatment of different cardiovascular conditions (1,2). Since the DOACs first approval in the UK in 2008 (3), they have become the preferred choice for anticoagulation, because of their documented non-inferior efficacy and safety in large randomized prospective trials and real-world observational studies, and because of their much more convenience to use (4-6). With the rapid uptake of DOACs, prescribers are faced with increasingly complex decisions relating to appropriate agent and appropriate dose to be prescribed (7). This review will explore and provide an overview of the factors influencing the prescribing of DOACs in general.
