About
Benjamin is the Module Lead for Chronic Conditions and Administration and Supply Pharmacology (Both Year 2) and supports teaching on Principles of Podiatric Practice (Year 1) and Complex Clinical Management (Year 3) alongside acting Admissions Tutor for the BSc Podiatry programme.
His clinical background includes 9 years of NHS experience with 4 years focused on the Acute and At-risk foot where he practiced within the local region providing specialist care in preventing, managing, treating, and resolving foot ulcers. Principally focusing on prevention of loss of limb, limb salvage, and maintaining quality of life for high-risk patient population.
His research interests reside in the application of Genomics and Genetics knowledge, insight, testing and analysis to the Foot, Ankle, and Lower Limb [FALL] within Podiatric Medicine. Principally building upon his clinical experience in diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, cardiopulmonary conditions afflicting the lower limb.
His Masters dissertation explored the analysis and prediction utilised in Bioformatical tools applied in splicing genetics applying the innovative synthesis methodology Synthesis Without Meta-Analysis (SWiM) for highly heterogeneous study designs. This provided insight to which computational tools provided the highest Area-Unver-the-Curve (AUC) when predicting pathological impact from base changes in the splicing region. Benjamin sought to account for the differences in methods, populations, verification and validation models to arrive at a robust assesment of the tools available in this domain.
Benjamin remains a staunch advocate for design thinking approached towards long-standing issues, complex and wicked problems. He supports teaching in Health by Design to encourage healthcare profressionals and leaders to embrace new perspectives when devising solutions - be that in streamlining services, resource or time-saving exercises, or happier and healthier people, places, and patients.
