In August 2014 I retired from the NHS after 36 years’ service, latterly as Consultant Medical Physicist, Head of Instrumentation, NHS Tayside where I was collaborator in the establishment of the Dundee ultrasound team.
I hold an Honorary Chair in Bio-engineering at Dundee and am a visiting professor to Strathclyde. With these roles, I have been able to continue my research interests in the application of Medical Ultrasound both for imaging and therapy. These include Quality Assurance, clinical applications (the development of both devices and applications), Regulation and teaching. Sono-elastography, interventional guidance and HIFU have been areas of particular interest as my focus has always been on the technology clinical interface and translation into practice.
Research Themes:
General application of Medical Ultrasound with a particular focus on inreventional guidance, sono-elastography, HIFU, Quality Assurance, tissue mimics and teaching and ttraining
