I am currently the Head of Pathology for the South-West region of NHSE having previously been the Pathology service manager in Truro, a Pathology Incident Director during the covid pandemic and a member of the Peninsula Pathology network board. My background is as a state registered biomedical scientist in Clinical Chemistry.
During my career across 35+ years in the NHS I have also enjoyed roles as an imaging service manager, and as divisional manager of a clinical support division and a medicine and ED division. My current interests are in all things digital, “externalising pathology”, promoting the principle of “NHS Pathology” and the “effectiveness” of pathology services.
I get up in the morning excited at the thought of improving pathology services in the widest sense and across all its many facets. There is a huge current opportunity to shape the future provision of pathology and to extend the visibility of its benefits to patients and the wider populations.
