Jordan joined Royal Holloway in 2025, coming from the University of Birmingham. His expertise is in health law, ethics, and policy, spanning a range of research and teaching interests, including:

• Organ donation and transplantation
• Nephrology
• Abortion care
• Telemedicine
• Mental capacity
• Empirical bioethics
• Translational bioethics
• Devolution and policy transfer
• Crown Dependencies health policy
• Medical (ethics and law) education

His most recent book - 'Opt Out' Organ Donation: An Ethico-Legal Policy Analysis (Oxford University Press, 2025) - provides a comprehensive examination of the move to so-called 'opt out' organ donation across the UK.

Jordan's research has been published in a range of leading journals across several fields, including Medical Law Review, Journal of Medical Ethics, Health Care Analysis, Social Science & Medicine, and The Lancet. This work has been generously supported by funding from a range of sources, including the Institute of Medical Ethics, Kidney Research UK, Wellcome Trust, British Academy, and Society for Applied Philosophy.

Contributing to the wider research community, Jordan serves on various committees and groups. These roles include Chair of the UK Kidney Association's Ethics and Law Committee, Member of the Institute of Medical Ethics' Grants and Awards Committee, and Associate Editor of Clinical Ethics (SAGE).

Having taught across both law and medical schools, Jordan has broad teaching expertise. Whilst primarily centred on health law, this experience spans tort, criminal law, family law, law and new technologies, moral and political philosophy, medical sociology, medical education, professional communication, public policy, and qualitative research methods. His expertise was recognised in 2024 with Senior Fellowship of Advance HE (SFHEA).

Outside of Royal Holloway, Jordan has delivered guest lectures at various other institutions, including the University of Oxford and the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. He also provides specialist training in law and ethics to healthcare professionals nationally, including leading the Mental Capacity and Best Interests in Kidney Care training workshop.

Jordan has contributed to a range of (inter)national educational initiatives. He recently contributed to the textbook Diverse Voices in Health Law (Bristol University Press), critically examining the way confidentiality is ordinarily framed. In the field of kidney care, he was part of the International Society of Nephrology's Dialysis Toolkit Working Group and now sits on the Society's Ethics Education Working Group. Jordan is also currently under contract to author a textbook on Dental Ethics & Law (Springer) and edit the Routledge Handbook of Empirical Bioethics (Routledge). Also, maintaining an interest in medical education, Jordan is currently leading a national project to explore the use of digital educational resources in supporting ethics and law education in medical schools (funded by the Institute of Medical Ethics).

Before joining Royal Holloway, Jordan worked at the Universities of Birmingham, Keele, and Bristol, and remains an Honorary Senior Research Associate at Bristol Medical School. He has also held visiting positions at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), Cardiff University (UK), the Sindh Institute of Urology & Transplantation (Pakistan), Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany), and The Hastings Center (US).
