I’m always staggered by the amount of research that Sam’s doing. This has always been on her CV but never very public.

So I’ve finally persuaded her to put some of the more recent links up here.

As well as published work, we’re going to try and keep a running track of articles, posters and presentations that are in draft or submitted but not yet accepted. Obviously we won’t be able to go into full details before publication but hopefully there will be something that will give a flavour of what she gets up to.

Should we ever get around to some joint research or non-clinical stuff there will be more to talk about openly.

Enjoy.

Research is always fun to do. Part of that is figuring out how to actually accomplish what you want to do. However the bit which all bosses want are the outputs. After a considerable amount of trawling through medical notes, patient interviews, postal surveys and then data analysis, I and several doctors have written and submitted five abstracts to the British Association of Oral and Maxiollfacial Surgeons annual conference.

Of course submission does not equal acceptance. So now we have the waiting game. To fill this time we are concentrating on producing articles for publication in peer review journals. Watch this space to find out our success rate and where the abstracts and subsequent articles can be read.
