The Evolution of Evidence Based Health Research

Discover how Professor Andrew Booth shaped health research, embraced AI and built a top team.

Part of Communicable Research Podcast
13 Aug 2025 09:00

The guest on our final Communicable Research podcast in this series is Professor Andrew Booth.

Andrew's esteem as an internationally known and respected academic and expert in evidence synthesis and evidence based health research is without question. He is extensively published and has spoken at countless conferences and events across the globe and has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of health research.

We talk about the evolution of evidence based health research, his impact and championing in this field and how he continues to forge new ways of conducting research and sharing findings. We also discuss the recent impact of AI and how he developed an information specialist team at Sheffield with various members diversifying into areas such as information science, communications, systematic reviews and clinical trials.
