Current Research

Dr West's main area of research is into the occurrence and consequences of digestive disease in the UK using large, population-based data sources. This includes work using the General Practice Research Database, Hospital Episode Statistics, registry data from the Office for National Statistics, The Health Improvement Network and various other routinely available data. The work is currently funded by a 5 year Senior Clinical Research Fellowship from the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and University of Nottingham.

Research interests also include other diseases in areas such as respiratory medicine, dermatology, maternal and child health and surgery.

He works closely within the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health with other members of the Gastrointestinal Epidemiology Research group, which includes Dr Tim Card and Dr Kate Fleming as well as other members of the Clinical Epidemiology Research Group.
