Staff Profile

I am the Technical team leader in the School of Biomedical, Nutritional and Sport Sciences. I manage a team of technicians who are responsible for the delivery of practical classes across a range of taught programmes within the Faculty of Medical Sciences. 

My team supports a diverse range of practical classes in specialist Biomedical Science facilities, including class 2 laboratories, located within the Medical School at Newcastle University. We also have state of the art Sport and Exercise Science laboratories in the University Sport Centre and a Nutrition training suite in the Dame Margaret Barbour Building.

I am also our School Safety Officer, providing health and safety advice and support to the Head of School, Staff and students.
