Biography
Dr Ian Pope is a GP Academic Clinical Fellow and Honorary Associate Professor at Norwich Medical School. His research focuses on opportunistic behaviour change interventions, smoking cessation in underserved populations, and advance care planning.
He was Co-Chief Investigator of the NIHR-funded Cessation of Smoking Trial in the Emergency Department (COSTED), which evaluated the delivery of smoking cessation interventions in emergency care settings. In recognition of this work, he received the UEA Innovation and Impact Award for Outstanding Impact in Health.

He undertook a Public Health Academic Foundation Programme in East London, conducting a multi-centre mixed-methods study on emergency department admissions. He later trained in Emergency Medicine at Homerton University Hospital and the Royal London Hospital, and completed a Master of Health Policy, Planning and Financing, jointly delivered by the London School of Economics and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
