HEALTH EDUCATION ENGLAND - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Deputy Dean for GP Workforce
Bio:
I am a thoroughly Northern Lass having been born in Whiston Hospital and I have never lived more than 40 miles from there. I went to Liverpool University and did my GP training in Mersey qualifying in 1998.
I worked in a practice near Rochdale for 16 years but felt the need for a change and am now happily installed as a partner in a new training practice in Bury.
I have always been interested in GP education and have been a trainer since 2006. After 3 years as Course Director for cardiology for the RCGP I became a medical Educator and then Programme Director in Pennine. I enjoyed these roles for a number of years but recently I have taken the opportunity of becoming Associate Dean for Central Mersey in September 2015. The welcome has been very warm and I am enjoying the challenge but not the journey from Rossendale.
When I am not at work I enjoy travelling to my caravan in the Yorkshire dales with my family and walking up a mountain or 2!

Bio:
My interest in medical education began to surface as RCP tutor and I was in the first cohort of students taking the MA in Teaching and Learning in the Clinical Setting at Edge Hill University. I was subsequently appointed Postgraduate Clinical Tutor for Bolton and we ran FY2 pilots well before Foundation training proper was rolled out in the UK. I was a consultant Geriatrician at Bolton for 25 years, though unusual in that I was a trainee GP (now called GP registrars) in Cheetham Hill before this, being one of few hospital seniors who passed the MRCGP examination.
As chair of the STC in Geriatric Medicine, I founded the MSc in Geriatric Medicine (Salford University), a unique workplace-based Masters course which replaced the Deanery teaching programme for the speciality. I chaired the national SAC for the speciality for 7 years. In 2006 I became Foundation School Director, which now encompasses the whole of the North West, the largest Schools in the country. From Barrow in Furness to Derbyshire, the Pennines and the Wirral, we are responsible for some 2000 trainees in 20 programmes. I have special interests in QA of training, the teaching of empathy and compassionate leadership.
