Hi I’m new to the forum. I’m Gavin Rudge, a Research Fellow in Applied Health Research at the University of Birmingham. I typically work on large scale observational studies using routinely collected data in both primary and secondary care settings in the National Health Service here in the United Kingdom. I also lecture on topics related to health information and health informatics on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the medical school in my Institution. I am particularly interested in the management of large clinical databases and how best they can be optimised for research to make workflow more efficient. I typically use SQL server, MySQL, R, and Stata. I am also interested in environmental epidemiology and health applications of geographical information systems.
