Biography

Ex Military, having served almost 24 years as a Combat Medical Technician I was the first Military Cohort to graduate from the University of Cumbria in 2014.

A instructor of many Resuscitation Council and Advanced Life Support Group courses, and co-writer of the Military Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Course (MPHECC) which is now a must have for medics deploying overseas and wishing to attend the MERT course.

I work as an Enhanced Care Paramedic with the North East Ambulance Service in my spare time and enjoy camping and walks in the countryside.
