I am the Course Director of the Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Education at ICE. I have been involved in curriculum design, delivery, and assessment of undergraduate and postgraduate medical education programmes for several years, holding various senior leadership roles in Public Health and Medical Education.
During most of my career, I have held posts that were split 50:50 across service public health and academia. This enabled me to bring academic rigour to my NHS work, and real-life public health examples to my teaching. I have been clinical/educational supervisor of public health specialty registrars, and various trainees/ students doing public health placements and played an active part in the Public Health specialty training programme in this Region for several years. I co-led the national network of public health educators in UK medical schools, a group involved in developing and delivering a consensus curriculum for undergraduate public health in medical schools.
I completed my undergraduate medical training and an MD degree in Preventive and Social Medicine overseas. I have an MPhil degree in Epidemiology and Statistics from the University of Cambridge, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Education from the University of East Anglia. I completed my public health specialty training in the East of England in 2002. I am a Senior Fellow of Advance HE and Emeritus Professor of Public Health & Medical Education at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia.
