Quite reasonably people will want to know how it is I have the experience to be arrogant enough to develop this resource.

In addition to having been a critical care patient, a patient needing rehabilitation and a carer for my wife who has been treated many times over the years for multiple cancers, I was also a front line staff nurse in the NHS. It is these four perspectives and experiences I bring to the research conversation.

In no particular order I have been, or am, involved in research for:
