Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and is sourced. Content is neutral. The hook is cited and interesting. A QPQ has been done and only one is required as it was nominated pre-8 March. Earwig has picked up a bit of close phrasing that should be addressed:

in Career section "(HPB) surgery at the ... of surgical sciences at the university" is pretty close to the source text, so I would suggest re-writing - source
in Career section also " Fellowship of the Royal ... resulted in the award" also pretty close to this source Lajmmoore (talk) 08:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Lajmmoore: for that. I have reworded these as suggested and this has lowered the score on Earwig. The score is still quite high but this now relates pretty much exclusively to proper nouns rather than similarity of phrasing. Papamac (talk) 16:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Iainmacintyre, I think this phrasing "full-time research in the Department of Surgery, Queens University Belfast. This work investigated the effect of obstructive jaundice on gut barrier function and resulted in the award" should be reworded, as it the same as here, otherwise, I agree it is mostly titles, etc. Lajmmoore (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lajmmoore: Yes, see that now and have reworded approprriately. Thanks again. Papamac (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

all good now Lajmmoore (talk) 22:29, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
