"Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) is a real-world research service supporting retrospective and prospective public health and clinical studies." See: https://www.cprd.com/

The role of the Scientific Advisory Group is to provide advice to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on the overall scientific direction and strategic priorities for its Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) service.

🧠 (2025) Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI)

Click for more details - What is the SSI?

The SSI works to "help people build better software and more sustainable research software to enable world-class research." https://www.software.ac.uk/about

In 2025 I was accepted onto the SSI Fellowship programme. The main goals of the Programme are to improve and promote good computational practice across all research disciplines and support those who are doing this important work. My fellowhip plans will promote and enhance the activities of the Physiopy community.
