Professor Stott has conducted a broad portfolio of original research directly relevant for healthcare of older people. His current primary research includes subclinical hypothyroidism in elderly people, prediction and prevention of cognitive decline in older age, screening for dementia, complications after stroke, and nutritional support in rehabilitation. He currently hold grants for 7 research projects (total value circa £6M) including lead for the EU FP7 funded study 'Multi-modal effects of Thyroid hormone Replacement for Untreated older adults with Subclinical hypothyroidism; a randomised placebo-controlled Trial'. International collaborations include the Netherlands, Ireland and Switzerland.

A major emphasis in his research program is prediction and prevention of late-life cerebrovascular disease and the associated cognitive decline and disability. This includes observational studies exploring the role of activated haemostasis and inflammation in increasing the risk of stroke, dementia and late- life disability. This work is generating new and exciting insights regarding the pathophysiology of late- life cognitive decline and disability, which should result in better targeting of interventions to protect health and improve quality of life of older people. The health services research that he is engaged in has a general aim of improving outcomes after stroke, including reducing the risk of complications such as chest and urinary tract infection (e.g. by improving oral hygiene and reducing urinary catheter use respectively), and predicting care-giver stress.

Other significant appointments:
1) Chair, Health Services Research Committee, CSO, Scottish Executive, 2007 to 2012.
