Alex qualified from King’s College London in 1993 and slowly migrated north via an MSc and FRCS to become a consultant hand surgeon at the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust where he is also the medical lead for advanced practice. He is the deputy chair of the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Faculty for Advanced Practice and the Director of the Practitioner’s e-Portfolio. He is particularly interested in supervision and assessment across the multi-professional team. Alex is currently studying for an MMEd, and as such is very sympathetic to all part-time master’s students.
