PROJECT MANAGEMENT
& TECHNICAL WIZARDRY

FROM UPGRADING LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY IN THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE TO INSTALLING RECORDING STUDIOS FOR FILM COMPOSERS, I HAVE A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT & I LOVE A TECHNICAL CHALLENGE

LABORATORY TECHNICIAN

I WAS EMPLOYED FOR MANY YEARS AS A MEDICAL LABORATORY ASSISTANT IN PATHOLOGY @ FRIMLEY PARK HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST

AUDIO ENCRYPTION

I SET UP AN AUDIO ENCRYPTION SYSTEM TO INCREASE SECURITY OF PATIENT DATA FROM CLINIC TAPES @ FRIMLEY PARK HOSPITAL & ROYAL SURREY COUNTY HOSPITAL

INFECTION CONTROL COORDINATOR

I MANAGED A TEAM OF MICROBIOLOGISTS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE SPREAD OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN HOSPITALS & THE COMMUNITY

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

I MANAGED A LARGE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECT THAT ENABLED SECURE HIGH-SPEED TRANSFER OF CLINICAL, SPECIMEN & PATIENT DATA BETWEEN 3 DISTRICT GENERAL HOSPITALS & THEIR GENERAL PRACTICE COMMUNITY SITES

THE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SECURELY INTERFACED HOSPITAL PATIENT DATABASES & COMPUTER SYSTEMS IN NHS PATHOLOGY LABS WITH EVERY GP SURGERY ACROSS SURREY, BERKSHIRE & HAMPSHIRE

THIS ALLOWED DOCTORS TO REQUEST PATHOLOGY TESTS ELECTRONICALLY, WHICH ENABLED NHS LABORATORIES TO PROCESS PATIENT SPECIMENS MORE EFFICIENTLY & RETURN RESULTS TO SURGERIES WITHIN A MUCH FASTER TURNAROUND TIME

QUALITY OF DATA SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED DUE TO COMPLETE REMOVAL OF SCOPE FOR TRANSCRIPTION-BASED CLERICAL ERRORS, ALLOWING FOR SAFER AS WELL AS FASTER PATIENT CARE

THE PROJECT BENEFITED OVER 1.1 MILLION PATIENTS IN SOUTH EAST ENGLAND

• 3 DISTRICT GENERAL HOSPITALS
• 85 GP SURGERIES
• OVER 1.1 MILLION PATIENTS

THE NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM WAS A KEY PART OF THE NHS PATHOLOGY NETWORK MODERNISATION PROGRAMME & THE PROJECT WAS HELD UP NATIONALLY AS AN EXEMPLAR

GENERAL HOSPITALS

GP SURGERIES

1,100,000

PATIENTS

THE PROGRAMME REQUIRED ME TO NOT ONLY DEPLOY AN IT SOLUTION ACROSS A NUMBER OF COMPLEX HEALTHCARE ORGANISATIONS BUT ALSO TO ENSURE HARMONISATION OF THE CLINICAL APPROACH TO ORDERING & RESULTING PATHOLOGY TESTS IN ORDER TO MAXIMISE PATIENT CARE

I WAS UNIQUELY EQUIPPED FOR THE ROLE DUE TO MY SOUND IT SKILLS – HAVING PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS AN IT SUPPORT ENGINEER @ UNIVERSITY OF SURREY, WHERE I ACQUIRED AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF NETWORK SECURITY – AS WELL AS A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE IN PATHOLOGY WHERE I DEVELOPED A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF:-

• BIOCHEMISTRY
• CYTOLOGY
• HAEMATOLOGY
• HISTOPATHOLOGY
• IMMUNOLOGY
• MICROBIOLOGY
• PHLEBOTOMY
• VIROLOGY

IN ADDITION TO OVER 10 YEARS IN PATHOLOGY & IT I HAVE A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE WORKING MY MAGIC IN RECORDING STUDIOS
