    Biography

    Having obtained my Master’s degree in Biometry and PhD in Primary Care Science, I am now keenly pursuing a career as an independent researcher with a focus on applying relevant and innovative statistical methods to questions of key clinical relevance in primary care rheumatology. I have a range of experience working with primary care cohort studies and specifically with routinely collected health care data. I am always increasing my understanding of epidemiological concepts and how best to apply them. I take a keen role in mentoring junior staff within my research programme and encourage all team members to consider the methodological aspects of their research in a critical manner. My teaching responsibilities include co-leading a compulsory Year 2 module, Research and Analytical Skills, in the School of Life Sciences.

    Research and scholarship

    Sara is interested in epidemiological methodology, particularly in the fields of musculoskeletal pain and rheumatology. She has a particular interest in ordinal regression models, Rasch analysis and the use of routinely collected data in research. Sara is also a member of the Society for Academic Primary Care and a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and was previously an associate editor at the Journal of Family Practice.
