He is joint Chief Investigator of the OPTIMISE2 study assessing deprescribing antihypertensives in the over 75s. He is recognised internationally for his work on self-monitoring and self-management of hypertension and leads a consortium curating 25 datasets which form an individual patient data meta-analysis of self-monitoring of hypertension.
He chairs the Blood Pressure Monitoring Working Party of the British Hypertension Society and has provided expert advice to NICE (2011 & 2019 Hypertension Guideline) and the European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension (2018 & 2024 European Hypertension Guidelines).
