Since 2018 Ashley has led the infection theme within the NIHR Newcastle MIC. This builds on the close relationship we established with Ashley during our time as the NIHR Diagnostic Evidence Co-operative (DEC) Newcastle. Ashley has extensive experience as chief and principal investigator on several clinical studies. These include two influential studies with the NIHR DEC Newcastle.

Ashley has strengthened his national clinical research links through his role as medical lead for COVID-19 vaccine in the North East and North Cumbria, the lead for Infection within the NIHR Clinical Research Network for North East and Cumbria and co-lead of the analytical performance workstream within the COVID-19 National Diagnostic Research and Evaluation Platform (CONDOR).
