We also strive to provide the best working environment for our staff, as well as the enviroment for our patients, and, as part of this, we try to provide the best medical training to our Doctors and Nurses.  This WebSite is primarily designed to facilitate the sharing of training materials.

I am also passionate about health informatics and believe that the optimised design and use of an electronic patient record and associated systems can result in improvement in patients experiences as well as reducing the day to day stresses of healthcare professionals.

I currrently hold the position of Clinical Lead for Health Informatics at East Surrey Hospital and am proud to be closely involved in all of the Healthcare Informatics Inplementation in our Trust.  This WebSite will expand to include information that I find useful in this field so that others may use it to fascilitate others in their Health Informatics journey.

All the information on this Website is provided with the best intention and is believed to be correct.  However, please do not use this information for direct medical care without first consulting official, medically recognised, guidelines (NICE Guidelines etc.) as, despite best intentions, errors can be made.

As a final caveat: Although I work for Surrey and Sussex NHS Trust this WebSite is entirely my own work and is not in any way affiliated with the trust.

I hope you find the site useful, if you find any errors please use the Contact link above to let me know.

Best Wishes
