CONSULTING

I help you win a place, and the funding to pay for it, at competitive postgraduate programmes, and I help you do well once you are there.

I work with you online on a one-to-one basis, and draw on my own experience of succeeding at the most selective UK universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.

I work with ambitious students and early-career researchers in two ways:

• Applications and funding. I will help you with every part of your application: choosing the right programmes and supervisors, writing your personal statement, reviewing your CV, shaping your research proposal, preparing for interview, and putting together your funding and scholarship applications. I work with undergraduates applying to master's programmes and students applying to PhD programmes. I have particular expertise in applications to Oxford and Cambridge, for both places and scholarships.

• Support during your studies. I will help you with the work that postgraduate research involves: study design, ethics applications, academic writing, conference abstracts, journal article submissions, and grant, fellowship, and studentship applications.

In both, I provide guidance and honest feedback, so the work stays your own.

I have been through this at the highest level and succeeded. I have won three competitively funded programmes: Open Philanthropy Early-Career Funding for my master's in Public Health, a Trinity Cambridge Research Studentship for my MPhil at Cambridge, and a Medical Research Council iCASE studentship for my DPhil in Clinical Medicine at Oxford. So when I advise you on an application or a funding bid, I am drawing on first-hand knowledge of what selection panels reward.

I have also excelled once admitted: a Master's in Public Health (University of Nottingham) with Distinction and the Course Prize, a Master's in Medical Ethics and Law (Keele University) with Distinction and the Prize for Best Dissertation, a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene with Distinction, and a Diploma in the Philosophy of Medicine with the Prize for Best Dissertation. I am currently an MPhil student at the University of Cambridge. I will begin my DPhil in Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford in October 2026.

Alongside consulting, I am a practising NHS GP and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I also an Associate Editor at the peer-reviewed Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, so I know from the inside what gets a paper published. I am also an Honorary Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham. My own research has appeared in leading journals including The Lancet and its specialty titles, the Journal of Medical Ethics, the British Journal of General Practice, and the British Journal of Psychiatry.
