Biography

David graduated from University of Glasgow BDS in 1996. Following brief periods in general dental practice, hospital dentistry in Bristol and Edinburgh, and SHO posts in oral and maxillofacial surgery at St John’s in Livingston, he attained FDS RCS (England) in 1999. He returned to Glasgow in 2000 for a clinical lectureship in dental public health combined with a specialist registrar training post based in NHS Lanarkshire and NHS Argyll and Clyde Health Boards. He completed the MPH at University of Glasgow in 2002 and attained the certificate of completion of specialist training in dental public health in 2005 (FDS DPH RCS, and FFPH). He enrolled for a part-time PhD in 2002, and since 2005 has been working as a part-time consultant for NHS National Services Scotland Information Services Division (ISD), alongside his clinical lecturer post. He completed his PhD on the epidemiology of oral cancer from a socioeconomic perspective in 2008. During this time he undertakook short periods of study and work in South Africa, India, and Nepal.

Research Interests

David's main research interests are in socioeconomic inequalities in heath and oral health, cancer epidemiology, health improvement evaluation, and eHealth. His main research focus is on head and neck cancer epidemiology and he has over 35 peer-reviewed publications on the topic. He is currently collaborating with the Scottish Cancer Registry on descriptive epidemiology; the World Health Organisation International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) on the Alcohol-related cancers and genetic susceptibility in Europe (ARCAGE) study; and the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium. In 2010 he was awarded the IADR Hatton Senior Clinical Research Award for this research. In 2011 he was awarded a Union of International Cancer Control Fellowship and an IARC Visiting Scientist Award to work in IARC, Lyon, France for the summer. He is also involved in the evaluation of the national oral health programme – Childsmile. Together with his role in NSS, David is interested in exploring the potential for eHealth to improve healthcare and health
