Professional profile/background







Jane graduated from Bristol University in 1988 having undertaken an intercalcated BSc in microbiology. Her basic and specialist surgical training was in the South West and she gained her certificate of specialist training in 2000. At this time she was awarded a 5-year MRC Clinician Scientist award to investigate principles and practices of outcome measures in surgical oncology. Jane led the development of an international portfolio of measures to assess patients' views and she was therefore awarded a personal chair in surgery in 2006. She continues to lead an MRC funded research team involved in methodological developments in randomised trials (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/centres/conduct2/). She is the chief investigator of a large trial of bariatric surgery (http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/projects/hta/0912753) and a novel feasibility study investigating the role of dressings in elective surgery (http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/projects/hta/1220004).

Jane contributes to the upper GI clinical surgical team involved with major cancer surgery and provision of general surgical emergency care. She is passionate about setting standards of care for patients and surgery in the NHS.
