About Me
Writing and Consultancy
As a former practicing doctor and healthcare leader, I am involved in many initiatives to develop and support high quality healthcare. Over the last few decades I have published over 2000 articles in both the lay and medical press, as well as 15 books - mainly about health topics for the lay public.
