I am an experienced occupational health practitioner and educator. I have lead the development of more than ten educational programmes at diploma, degree and MSc level. I have skills in supporting students with dyslexia in order that they reach their full potential and do this through a variety of methods including coaching
I maintain occupational health practice both in the UK and internationally. I have a particular interest in delivering bespoke health and health with safety training for a range of organisations in both the private and public sector. I co-manage and am an active contributor to the Higher Education Funding Countcil JISC-OH resource which has a membership of approximately 1000 practitioners including OH advsers, OH nurses, OH physicians, general practitioners, safety advisers and physical therapists.
In 2013-14 I was part of the implementation group which developed the National School of Occupational Health (NSOH). I was then invited to become a Board member of the National School which currently educates physicians across England and Wales is testament to my standing as an OH educator. The NSOH currently educates occupational physicians but it is anticipated that it will eventually be involved in the education of other OH specialists including nurses, psychologists and physical therapists.
