Profile

Allan has been an associated PhD student at the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Artificial Intelligence for Medical Diagnosis and Care at the University of Leeds since 2021.  Allan graduated from Leeds University Medical School (MBChB) in 2010 and has since served as a Medical Officer within the British Army.  He previously has been part of the 16 Air Assault Brigade and was deployed to Nepal for a humanitarian disaster relief response operation following the major earthquakes in 2014.  Allan was selected for military anaesthesia speciality training in 2015 within the Northern School of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine.  He gained his Fellowship from the Royal College of Anaesthesia (FRCA) in 2019.  He is part of the Academic Department of Military Anaesthesia and Critical Care (ADMACC), where he established and ran the trainee research network Tri-Service Trainee Audit & Research (Tri-STAR) group.

Research interests

Allan's research concentrates on predicting peri-operative (i.e. surgical) outcomes. The current state-of-the-art prediction tools produce only point probability before the surgery itself, which arguably has limited clinical utility beyond the surgical event itself.  While developing a surgical prediction tool based on clinical data from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, he will concentrate on understanding the requirements and potential uses for a prediction tool that adapts temporally through the patient's clinical course.  Allan is using time-series techniques to capture the temporal relationships of routinely collected physiological signals to improve the predictive performance of clinical deteriorration warning systems, similar to the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2).
