Scientific and medical editing
I was the sole scientific writer and editor on a major project carried out by the Ernst and Young LLP–Oxford Health Analytics Consortium: "Evaluation of the national COVID-19 testing programme in England between October 2020 and March 2022"
Articles I have edited have subsequently been published in more than 200 peer-reviewed journals
