I love the NHS – it’s very special to me - so it’s an amazing honour to be in this new role.

I completed my medical training in Nottingham and worked in the NHS as an academic obstetrician for many years in the East Midlands and overseas. More recently I’ve worked extensively to drive the research enterprise and innovation endeavour from within our universities.

Within these roles, I’ve seen how research can lead to improvements in patient care further down the line, but this process can take a long time – too long.
