Richard is a future Paediatric surgeon and PhD candidate based at the Centre for Kidney Research. Having studied Medicine in Ireland, Richard moved to Australia where he has since completed postgraduate degrees in Anatomy and Clinical Epidemiology. He is a keen swimmer (especially enjoying the seas pools of the Northern beaches); he also likes reading and listening to live music.

Richard’s PhD looks at several areas relating to Paediatric surgery in particular epidemiological aspects of paediatric surgical trials. The context for this study is to evaluate the current state of paediatric surgical research for methodological rigour, aiming to establish an evidence base and agenda for future trials to improve outcomes in paediatric surgery. The project will involve epidemiological methodology studies and systematic reviews, data linkage and analysis of existing study datasets. Anyone interested in this area is encouraged to contact Richard. Richard enjoys teaching and currently teaches medical students at the University of New South Wales.
