Overview
About
Over 25 years, held various Clinical positions within acute diagnostic and reference services throughout the world. Spending time focused on rapid/molecular diagnosis of infections (respiratory and those involved in deliberate release) and understanding complex infections, such as, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, and wound infections. My initial work involved over 10 years supporting the national reference services in Scotland before moving to Nottingham in England, where I held lead consultant and senior leadership roles in Clinical Microbiology and Pathology both locally and nationally. Over those several decades, I have also supported clinical research and transformation within Microbiology and infectious diseases with various roles at the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the National Pathology Board (NHSi).
Research
Since 2019 I have supported the role as, Consultant Clinical Microbiologist with Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL), Alberta, Canada. Where I am program lead for a wide range of clinical activities, including provincial lead for respiratory infections. I support education of others and more recently became Director of the Clinical Microbiology Fellowship program at the University of Alberta. I also work closely with National and International microbiology charities and societies, including delivery of educational tools to help develop future leaders in Pathology and Clinical Microbiology in both high and low resource countries.
