I have a long interest in the process of education, especially its delivery and evaluation, with a particular interest in Inter-professional education. My main clinical related research activity centres around cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation and I have been involved with several
UK bodies in writing clinical guidelines for the management of people with cardiac problems.
