Biography

I joined the NHS as a trainee ambulance technician in 2001, qualifying as a paramedic in 2005, and completing a BSc (Hons) in Emergency Care in 2009. I moved into prehospital education in 2015, supporting the classroom and work-based learning of Oxford Brookes, UWE, and University of Portsmouth student paramedics, and post-graduate specialist paramedics and nurses with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and the University of West London, before leaving the NHS in 2020.  

I commenced an MSc in Teaching and Learning for Health Professionals in 2017. This led to an Associate Lecturer role with the University of Gloucestershire, the Programme Leader role for the South-Central Ambulance Service Paramedic Apprenticeship, and my current role with the University of Cumbria as Primary Research and Dissertation Lead for the Centre of Excellence in Paramedic Practice (CEPP).

Academic and research interests

I completed my master’s research dissertation on the subject of paramedic apprentice education, focusing on the interface between academia and clinical practice. This was my first major research project, which is awaiting publication. I am currently a peer reviewer for the university’s PRHE Journal, and a member of CEPP’s Research Steering Group and Curriculum Development Board.  

Publications

Although I have written a number of published articles and contributed to several books, these all reside outside of the academic domain, mainly articles on British comic history for UK and European publishers, and reviews for comic magazines and websites. I also worked as a freelance art editor, restoring and digitising original art for for Titan Books' archive comic collections.
