Following GP vocational training in Oxford, he was appointed as a lecturer in primary care at King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry in London, becoming a senior lecturer in 1992.

This has included developing and evaluating service and training innovations, and studying clinical decision-making and consultation behaviours and outcomes. His PhD thesis focused on the cost and clinical effectiveness of employing GPs in A&E departments to treat patients who attend with problems of a primary care type. Jeremy has also published numerous journal articles in support of his research activities.
