Biography
[edit | edit source]Howard qualified as a medical doctor with the degree MBBS from Newcastle University in 2008. He was awarded an MSc in Public Health and Health Services Research from Newcastle University in 2011.[1]
He has authored and co-authored articles which criticise current nutritional labelling practices in the UK,[2] and on topics related to respiratory,[3][4] and ophthalmic health.[5] From 2013–2014, Howard served as Public Health Registrar to Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies, and acted as Editor-in-Chief of the 2012 Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer.[6][7] He has contributed to or co-authored a number of other works with Davies.[8][9]
In 2012, Howard co-wrote a study in the British Medical Journal that compared the nutritional content of television chefs' recipes and supermarket meals. The study found that the chefs' meals were "less healthy" than ready-made supermarket meals.[10] The article received considerable coverage in the news media,[11][12][13][14] while some scholars criticised the assumption that "health ought to prominently inform TV cooking."[15][16]
In 2010, Howard re-published a compilation of his political blog posts in a book titled Instant Opinion.[17]
