Research Statement
I direct the work of the N. Ireland Cancer Registry (NICR) which assimilates and collates data on cancers and pre-malignant conditions in N. Ireland for research, education and planning of services. The NICR has several active research programmes:
1. The impact of PSA testing on prostate cancer epidemiology and men's healt.
2. The reasons for a hospital vs home death for cancer patients.
3. The effect of cancer plans on the delivery of cancer services.
4. Improving early diagnosis of cancer.
The NICR cooperates with the National Cancer Registry of Ireland to produce All Ireland Cancer Epidemiology reports and peer reviewed publications.
I am the N. Ireland lead for the Internal Cancer Benchmarking Partnership and was responsible for ensuring N. Ireland was included in this project examining differences in cancer survival across European, Australian and Canadian jurisdictions.
