He subsequently returned to Oxford to complete subspecialty training in Reproductive Medicine and an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship, working closely with the Granne and Becker research groups at the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health.
His research focuses on evidence synthesis and clinical trials in infertility and miscarriage.
