I am now fully retired from the NHS having worked for nearly 40 years as a clinical scientist in the areas of Medical Physics and Clinical Radiology. Thirty of those years were spent at Head of Department level, so I have experienced all the trials and tribulations of NHS management too.

My interest in medical software development (mainly image processing) started way back in the 1980's. Apart from being taught the basics of FORTRAN at university, I am a largely self-taught computer programmer (Assembler, BASIC, VBA, C++, Python) but my main interest has always been in software quality assurance. I attended one of the first major conferences following the publication of the EU Medical Device Directives (1990) and have been closely involved in advising UK medical physics colleagues on the implications ever since.

In the early 1990's I was one of a small team representing the U.K. on two major EU projects; one ('COST B2') on quality assurance (QA) of nuclear medicine software and a more general one ('QAMS') on QA of medical software. More recently, I have written or co-written chapters for IPEM publications on quality control of gamma cameras and associated computer systems (IPEM Reports 86 and 111) and was a member of IPEM's software development working party between 2015 and 2017, during which time we published a series of articles in Scope. More recently, I have written a chapter for a book on MATLAB programming in radiology and have co-authored a book on writing compliant medical software (see Publications).

Over the years I have given numerous invited talks at medical conferences and had fruitful professional contact with the UK's MHRA, the NPL, experts in IT law, and also private companies involved in the testing and certification of software.
