Biography

Started my working career in the scientific civil service in the UK, doing policy relevant research for the Department of Health and Social Security. Then did a stint in the European Regional Office of the World Health Organization in Copenhagen, and then decided to try academia. My first academic job was at the University of London, half time in the department of epidemiology and medial statistics at the London Hospital Medical College and the other half in the geography department at Queen Mary and Westfield College. I then moved to London South Bank University to take up a chair in primary health care (being told I was the first non-medically qualified person to hold such a post) and after some ten plus years there was tempted to my current position at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia.
