Pamela Evans
Edit Profile
Career
After graduating, she worked as a General Practitioner in Highams Park, London E4. Pamela took up a post as a Research Fellow in Epidemiology to enable her to continue working whilst raising a family. She developed the "Limb by Limb" method of data recording, a standardised methodology for clinicians providing data to epidemiologists.
Before this method was described, different interpretations of commonly used terms (eg diplegia, hemiplegia and quadriplegia) meant that data recorded in studies were not always able to be assessed correctly at an epidemiological level
The "Limb by Limb" method stimulated a debate among other researchers about the best format for data recording in epidemiological studies, providing a basis from which other recording methodologies could be derived. Her work on the life expectancy of children affected by cerebral palsy has been used as evidence in the High Court.
She also provides spiritual direction to a small number of church leaders.
Membership
She was a member of the United Kingdom national working party concerned with data recording in cerebral palsy research from 1985 to the early 1990s. She is a member of the Association of Christian Writers and part of the Chichester Diocese team of facilitators for the national Growing Healthy Churches initiative.
