Module C02: Occupational Health
Having previously worked as a medic in disaster relief, my clinical interests lie in both health care for developing countries, and occupational health, and I believe this module offers a great opportunity to combine these specialties. After seven years as Head of a Specialist Occupational Health Department for the Home Office, the past two years have been spent either teaching, or providing occupational health services in Countries such as the Congo, Mozambique, and Mauritania. I have also worked as an expedition medic, most recently for the BBC on their highly acclaimed jungle expedition, “Lost Land of the Volcano”.

Personal Tutor
I am the personal tutor for the Diploma in Remote and Offshore Medicine, Health Informatics and Health Information Governance Programmes. I provide pastoral support for students and can help them with issues such as authorising extensions, difficulties with studying or generally anything that isn't to do with course material itself.
I studied in St Andrews and Aberdeen in Scotland and worked in the North East of Scotland for 8 years as a GP before moving to Norway where I continue my GP work as well as being an Emergency Care Doctor. I also do a lot of work with asylum seekers and assault victims and I am a graduate of the RCSEd’s Medical Informatics programme.
