    [Brief_CV] => I have over 30 years’ experience as a doctor. I trained in general internal medicine, microbiology/virology and anaesthesia before switching to intensive care medicine. In 2002 I was appointed as consultant intensive physician, at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. I moved to University Hospital Southampton in December 2020.

My practice is in General and Neuro Intensive Care Medicine.

I have academic roles at the University of Southampton, Kings College London and the University of Reading. My research interests are in complex decision making related to serious medical treatment. I have been awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine for exceptional services to the science and practice of Forensic and Legal Medicine.

I have been Honorary Secretary of the Intensive Care Society, founded and Chaired the Legal and Ethical Policy Unit of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine and been a member of national guideline development groups in a number of key areas, including Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness.
    [Mediator_CV] => I'm an experienced mediator. My role as an Intensive Care Physician frequently involves resolving tense disagreements between other clinicians and families about what can be and what should be done for an individual patient who lacks the capacity to decide for themselves.
I lecture on healthcare mediation both to National and International meetings and have been interviewed by the BBC about healthcare mediation.
In 2014 I was an expert witness in a case in the Court of Protection. The Court had been asked to decide about the Best Interests of a patient who was close to the end of his life. I mediated a resolution to the disagreements between the parties.
Iâ??m a Director of the Medical Mediation Foundation, which offers independent support and advice to help health professionals, patients or their representatives resolve disagreements about medical care. 
I am a volunteer for Resolve, a charity which provides community mediation in Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
