Angela Webster
Angela Webster graduated from the medical school of Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England, in 1995, and moved to Scotland to continue clinical training, gaining membership of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1998. She moved to Australia in 2001 to continue training as a renal physician. Whilst in Sydney, she completed a Masters degree in Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Sydney, and was awarded a PhD in 2006 for her thesis "Immunosuppression and malignancy in End Stage Kidney Disease". Her PhD projects involved a series of systematic review and meta-analysis of trials of treatments for kidney transplantation and analysis of cancer epidemiology and risk in people with End Stage Kidney Disease using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA). During her PhD, Angela became familiar with the critical exploration of randomized trial methodology, the application of advanced statistical concepts in meta-analysis, the manipulation and analysis of large datasets, the methods and application of linkage of large national databases, and design and interpretation of cohort studies. She is currently back in Edinburgh completing her training as a Specialist Renal and Transplant Physician, continues as a distance learning tutor in Epidemiology for the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and also teaches clinical medicine to both undergraduates and postgraduates. Her ultimate aim is to divide her work between clinical practice in transplantation and continuing research, but she is not quite sure which continent that will be on. She can't function without coffee in the morning, and her favourite things include snorkeling on sunny days, camping in remote places, purring cats, left-field British comedy and long evenings sharing food and wine with friends. |
