I am a generally cheery, funk-loving, dog-cuddling Englishman. You see me here in my element; strolling along a Cornish beach with a faithful pooch close behind. It doesn’t get much better than that!
I am also Managing Director of Minervation Ltd – an evidence-based healthcare consultancy based in Oxford. I set up Minervation in 2002 with my business partner Douglas Badenoch. We share a lifelong interest and commitment to evidence-based healthcare and have spent the last few years working with like-minded people to improve the provision of good quality health information to patients and professionals.
My work includes building websites, literature searching, project management, writing reliable health information, usability testing, user involvement, multimedia, blogging and social media. We work across many specialties, but I have a particular interest in mental health.
I live in Bristol with my astonishing wife Leah and our two dogs Dudley and Mabel.
