I have had an active role in teaching throughout my career both in the UK and internationally. 

My main teaching role now is as the programme lead for the Global and Remote healthcare masters here at Plymouth University. I have the privilege of meeting fascinating individuals undertaking the course and learning from their experiences in global and remote medicine. 
Clinically I am an ALS instructor which I teach in the UK, and a Primary Trauma Care Course instructor which I teach in East and Southern Africa.  I have been a Training Programme Director in General Practice and a mentor for Foundation doctors.  I am currently completing my instructor training for the European Trauma Course. 
I am an associate lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan university and a module lead for the Expedition and Wilderness medicine diploma at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and appreciate the opportunity to teach and other universities meeting a variety of lecturers and students. 
I am a senior instructor for Wilderness Medical Training teaching both doctors and expedition participants advanced first aid in remote environments. 
As an RNLI crew member and lifeboat doctor I enjoy setting up medical scenarios both on and off the water. 

I am a water sport enthusiast and keen long distance triathlete. 

Family time is mostly spent wild camping on Dartmoor.
