Biography

I am a specialist pharmaceutical physician with extensive experience in the areas of pharmacology and pharmaceutical medicine. In addition to my role as Assistant Professor, in the School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin, I also work in the National Medicines Information Centre (NMIC) as a part-time medical advisor. I worked in the national regulatory authority (Irish Medicines Board) for 12 years and served as its medical director from 1995-2000. I was a member of the European scientific committee (Committee for Human Medicinal Products) from 1994-2000 and was appointed to the role of vice-chairman in 1998 until 2000. In my role as medical advisor in the NMIC, I am the co-author of the NMIC publications Therapeutics Today and NMIC Bulletin, which provide updates on therapeutic topics to primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals. I was part of the education team that developed the higher specialist training (HST) programme in Pharmaceutical Medicine, in conjunction with the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland (RCPI). I am currently the National Specialty Director for Pharmaceutical Medicine and a member of the Irish Committee for Higher Medical Training (ICHMT) in RCPI.
