During his time in post he has facilitated a significant improvement in IBD research within the local network and more specifically his own trust. During his ten years as a consultant Gastroenterologist he has taken on the research lead role within his department and increased recruitment to clinical research trials from 30 patients per annum to over 400 patients in 2013 and 2019. He has been either chief investigator or local principle investigator on over 20 trials in the last 5 years.

His laboratory research has recently expanded, with the funding and development of a Gastroenterology academic research unit in collaboration with Wolverhampton University. This is co-led by Professor Brookes who coordinates Gastroenterology research activity within this unit.
He has received research funding of around £500,000 over the last 2 years.
