Welcome

I’m a journalist, and writer/editor, and I’ve covered the health, medicine and social affairs sectors for more than 20 years.

I write about all aspects of healthcare, the NHS, medicine and social affairs. One week I could be writing about changing the culture of the NHS to reduce the number of medical accidents, and another week I could be writing about using artificial bone implants being a revolutionary step forward in orthopaedic medicine.

I have a real enthusiasm for writing and reporting on the major issues in these fields. Although recent years has seen a growth in web coverage of these sectors, much of the information can be misleading, misinformed or simply incorrect.
