## Career History
### [exp-interim-head-2025] Interim Head, Population Health & Data Analysis
NHS Norfolk & Waveney ICB | May to Nov 2025
Led population health initiatives and data-driven medicines optimisation, reporting to Associate Director of Pharmacy with accountability to CMO. Returned to substantive Deputy Head role following commencement of ICB-wide organisational consultation.
- Identified and prioritised a £14.6M efficiency programme through comprehensive prescribing data analysis; achieved over-target performance by October 2025 through targeted, evidence-based interventions across the integrated care system
- Built Python-based switching algorithm using real-world GP prescribing data to automatically identify patients on expensive drugs suitable for cost-effective alternatives, compressing months of manual analysis into 3 days, identifying 14,000 patients and £2.6M in annual savings (£2M on target for delivery)
- Automated incentive scheme analysis, enabling a novel GP payment system linking rewards to delivered savings; achieved 50% reduction in targeted prescribing within the first two months of deployment
- Presented strategy, programme progress, and financial position to Chief Medical Officer bimonthly, providing evidence-based recommendations to inform executive decision-making
- Led transformation from practice-level data to patient-level SQL analytics, enabling targeted interventions and a self-serve model for the wider team
### [exp-deputy-head-2024] Deputy Head, Population Health & Data Analysis
NHS Norfolk & Waveney ICB | Jul 2024 to Present (substantive role)
Driving data analytics strategy for medicines optimisation, developing bespoke datasets and analytical frameworks from messy, real-world GP prescribing data to identify efficiency opportunities and address health inequalities across the integrated care system.
- Managed £215M prescribing budget with sophisticated forecasting models identifying cost pressures and enabling proactive financial planning for ICB board reporting
- Collaborated with the ICB data engineering team to create a comprehensive dm+d medicines data table integrating all Dictionary of Medicines and Devices products with standardised strength calculations, oral morphine equivalent conversions, and Anticholinergic Burden scoring, providing a single source of truth for all medicines analytics
- Led financial scenario modelling for a system-wide DOAC switching programme, building an interactive Power BI dashboard incorporating rebate mechanics, clinician switching capacity, workforce constraints, and patent expiry timelines to quantify risk trade-offs for senior decision-makers
- Renegotiated pharmaceutical rebate terms ahead of patent expiry, securing improved commercial position for the ICB
- Supported commissioning of tirzepatide (NICE TA1026) including financial projections identifying eligible cohorts from real-world prescribing data; authored the initial executive paper advocating a primary care delivery model over a specialist provider on cost-effectiveness and accessibility grounds, driving the system shift to GP-led delivery following executive sign-off
- Developed Python-based controlled drug monitoring system calculating oral morphine equivalents (OME) across all opioid prescriptions, tracking patient-level exposure over time to identify high-risk patients and potential diversion, enabling previously impossible patient safety analysis at population scale
- Improved team data fluency through training, documentation, and self-serve Power BI tools
### [exp-high-cost-drugs-2022] High-Cost Drugs & Interface Pharmacist
NHS Norfolk & Waveney ICB | May 2022 to Jul 2024
Led implementation of NICE technology appraisals and high-cost drug pathways across the ICS. Wrote most of the system's high-cost drug pathways spanning rheumatology, ophthalmology (wet AMD, DMO, RVO), dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology, and migraine — balancing legal requirements to implement TAs against financial costs and local clinical preferences. Engaged clinical leads across all sectors of care to agree pathways and secure system-wide adoption.
- Developed software automating Blueteq prior authorisation form creation: 70% reduction in required forms, 200 hours immediate savings, and ongoing 7 to 8 hours weekly efficiency gains
- Integrated Blueteq data with secondary care activity databases, resolving critical data-matching limitations and enabling accurate high-cost drug spend tracking
- Created Python-based Sankey chart analysis tool visualising patient journeys through high-cost drug pathways, enabling trusts to audit compliance and identify improvement opportunities
### [exp-pharmacy-manager-2017] Pharmacy Manager
Tesco PLC (private sector, NOT NHS) | Nov 2017 to May 2022
Community pharmacy with full operational autonomy (100-hour contract). Local Pharmaceutical Committee representative for Norfolk.

## Projects
### [proj-inv-pharmetrics] PharMetrics (2025, Live)
First TypeScript project. Interactive health economics educational platform combining clinical trial statistics, health economics modules, and game-based learning. Features a risk calculator (ARR, RRR, NNT), five health economics education modules (NNT cost analysis, QALY, ICER with NICE thresholds, sensitivity analysis with Monte Carlo simulations, and budget impact analysis), and two educational games: a p-hacking simulator and a pharmaceutical business simulation exploring ethical trade-offs. Tech: React, TypeScript, Vite, Zustand, Recharts, D3, Styled Components.
### [proj-inv-switching-algorithm] Patient Switching Algorithm (2025, Complete)
Annual medicines switching schemes previously required months of manual data trawling by the optimisation team. This Python algorithm ingests real-world GP prescribing data, cross-references dm+d product information, and automatically identifies patients on expensive drugs who could be switched to cost-effective alternatives, with built-in clinical safety rules. Tech: Python, Pandas, SQL. 14,000 patients identified, £2.6M annual savings, novel GP payment system linking incentives to delivered savings.
### [proj-inv-blueteq-gen] Blueteq Generator (2023, Complete)
Prior authorisation forms for high-cost drugs were manually created and maintained, consuming significant clinical pharmacist time. This tool automates Blueteq form generation from structured pathway data, reducing form count by 70% and freeing over 200 hours immediately with ongoing weekly savings of 7 to 8 hours. Tech: Python, SQL.
### [proj-inv-cd-monitoring] CD Monitoring System (2024, Complete)
Population-level controlled drug monitoring was previously impossible due to the complexity of converting between opioid formulations. This system calculates oral morphine equivalents (OME) across all opioid prescriptions at patient level, tracking exposure over time to identify high-risk patients and potential diversion patterns. Tech: Python, SQL, dm+d integration.
### [proj-inv-sankey-tool] Sankey Chart Analysis Tool (2023, Complete)
Trusts had no way to visualise how patients moved through high-cost drug treatment pathways or audit compliance against agreed formulary positions. This Python tool generates interactive Sankey diagrams from prescribing and Blueteq data, revealing treatment sequences, pathway deviations, and opportunities for improvement. Tech: Python, Matplotlib, SQL.
