He is currently co-investigator on two NIHR Health Technology Assessment funded randomised trials in personality disorder (PEPS and LABILE). He also collaborates with the Drug Safety Research Unit on observational studies of psychotropic drug adverse effects (currently co-investigator on two studies, OASIS and OBSERVA).
