Current areas of research interest:

1. Cluster randomised controlled trial of opportunistic pre-consultation reminders to patients for preventive activities.

2. Why do general practitioners refer patients who are not having medical emergencies to hospital emergency departments, and how can we reduce this?

3. How do the doctors with the lowest cost per claim for treating injured workers under Workcover achieve this, and can we learn from their example?

4. Randomised controlled trial of garlic extract as an adjunctive treatment for hypertensive patients.
