Profile

Jenny studied undergraduate medicine at Exeter College, Oxford and undertook basic medical and surgical training in London. She graduated with distinction from Masters of Surgical Education at Imperial College, London and began training in Academic Orthopaedic surgery as a NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow in Oxford in 2014. Jenny undertook her PhD in Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford and was funded by Versus Arthritis Clinical Research and MRC Doctoral Training Fellowships for this work. She focussed on the epidemiology of hand conditions which is now quoted in NHS guidelines for patients. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic she was also a core member of an international group of researchers that changed national policies drug prescriptions in Europe and the US. She has used this experience to develop expertise in drug and device surveillance, now leading a group in surgical and device epidemiology here at QMUL. 

She has led Barts Health as a data partner in the EMA funded EHDEN collaborative of data partners, and the UK HERON network funded by HDRUK. This has enabled Barts Health to become an active research partner representing our 3.5 million patients within national and international data studies in OHDSI, using the OMOP Common Data Model. Future directions including using this data for data driven trials and target trial emulation studies, in addition to device surveillance
