I trained in London, Oxford and Sydney and have been a consultant in North Devon since 2008. My clinical practice is in general trauma and shoulder & elbow surgery. Over the course of my career, I have held several leadership roles, starting as many people do, with rota management as a trainee. Some posts have been in medical education, and I spent several years as our Foundation Training Programme Director. I have had a number of operational management roles and am currently sharing an interim Medical Director post with a colleague, alongside being Deputy Medical Director for a large directorate. |
