Profile

Simon is an academic geriatrician, based in North East London. With colleagues, he has been awarded funding exceeding £19 million and has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers. He led the Acute Frailty Network in England (2015-2021) and now leads a range of national improvement collaboratives in conjunction with NHS Elect.

Simon’s ambition is to improve outcomes for older people living with frailty by embedding evidence based medicine into clinical practice (‘campus to clinic’ translational research). His research addresses different models of holistic and patient centred care, assessing feasibility as well as clinical and cost-effectiveness. His educational activities take an interdisciplinary perspective on developing and teaching knowledge locally (frailty services), nationally (BGS) and internationally (EUGMS & EAMA). Implementation of research findings into clinical practice is key, and best exemplified by work on the Silver Book and Silver Book II, the Acute Frailty Network and Specialised Clinical Frailty Networks.
