I am a statistical epidemiologist from the North East and a Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University. My work is about ageing, multimorbidity, disability, care need, health expectancy and health inequalities, but GeroStats is deliberately more personal than a work profile.

GeroStats is a digital garden for thinking in public about ageing, disability, care, health expectancy, inequality, place and the statistical methods that help make later life visible.

Why GeroStats exists

Some analyses need more room than a figure caption, but less ceremony than a journal article. GeroStats is where I can write in my own voice about public statistics, familiar places and the moment when a clean estimate stops feeling abstract.

I think of this as a digital garden rather than a conventional blog: planted notes, data musings, data stories, methods, equations, teaching tools and local notes growing together over time.

What belongs here

The site is built for ageing, care, disability, health expectancy, deprivation and place-based inequality. It is also for the personal part of the work: being a Geordie, recognising the names on a map, and asking what those differences mean for real lives.
