Dr Ali has a long standing interest in ‘Medical Humanities’ and now works as the film and media correspondent for ‘Medical Humanities BMJ’. In November 2018 he published his book ‘The Cinema Clinic: Reflections on film and medicine’ to great critical reception.

Research

His research interests focus on medication-related harm in older people; he was the chief investigator for the PRIME (Predicting medication-related harm in older people post hospital discharge) study funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR). The study recruited 1,280 patients, and resulted in major publications in high impact journals. Dr Ali continued his research in stroke rehabilitation by exploring novel mechanisms of enhancing therapy intensity in stroke survivors in rehabilitation units; currently he is the chief investigator for ‘ASTAR’ study (An Upper Limb Training Study for Stroke Survivors in a Rehabilitation Unit). Most recently his research interests expanded to include qualitative methodology; he is currently the chief investigator for a study exploring the benefits of ‘audio-biography’ for older people receiving hospice care.
