A selection of projects I’ve led or contributed to, spanning digital education and clinical service improvement.
Digital Education
Postgraduate Virtual Learning Environment
Postgraduate learning in the digital age in response to COVID
Necessity doesn’t just breed innovation, but compels adaptation. The response in the first lockdown was the development of the Postgraduate Virtual Learning Environment (PGVLE) which now is one of the few platforms developed during COVID to continue its amazing growth.

Virtual Fracture Clinic — Redesigning the Trauma Pathway
Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust
A phased redesign of how patients moved from the Emergency Department into fracture clinic follow-up, developed and led as part of a wider strategy to improve patient safety, quality and efficiency. Phase I (January 2020) assessed the viability and safety of the ED-to-trauma-service pathway; Phase II (February 2020) tested capacity and further developed the service. The Virtual Fracture Clinic was then implemented formally in August 2020, delivering a 60% reduction in fracture clinic attendances while maintaining patient safety and consultant-led oversight of every case.
