Catey’s research interest is applied medical statistics – this has developed whilst working alongside Richard Wormald in developing a system for capturing high quality data on certifiable sight impairment in England and Wales. Catey is Statistical Editor for Cochrane Eyes and Vision, is an author on more than 300 published research papers and helped establish the patient and public involvement group at the Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) because of a passionate belief that patients should be at the heart of all research.
"I am part of the UK NEHS because it will facilitate development of an exemplar system for capturing robust data on the sight and hearing of people throughout our four nations that could then be mirrored on a global scale. As Ambassador for the Royal Statistical Society I am championing the message that “better data = better research = better healthcare” and the UK NEHS will demonstrate this principle by developing a solid evidence base that can target the right prevention strategies, treatment, public health services and support to people who really need it."
