Jeff Harrison

I am a hospital pharmacist by training, latterly specialising in cardiovascular and intensive care medicine. After completing my clinical training and undertaking a clinical trials based PhD in England I trained in Evidence-based Medicine at McMaster University and became a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist in the US. My current research is centred on pharmacoepidemiology and medicines-related health outcomes research. I also have interests in health services research as it relates to pharmacy services, and in medication safety. My research requires the application of a variety of methodological approaches including randomised controlled trials, observational studies using routinely collected administrative health data, quantitative surveys and a range of qualitative research methods. My research is cited in influential evidence-based international guidelines (American College of Chest Physicians) and has influenced a number of areas of policy and practice both in New Zealand and internationally.More recently I have become interested in the intersection of mental and physcial health, disparities in health outcomes and the contribution that health system and health professional behaviours that support and maintain these.
