I have worked for Staffordshire Ambulance Service for 41 years, and continue to do so, on a part time basis. During my time I have gained a large amount of experience, including involvement in two major incidents, both train crashes at Hixon and Colwich, as well as a large amount of general experience. My experience covers all aspects of accident and emergency work.

I have spent many years as a lecturer, training people to various levels. Training I have given includes:

First Aid at Work
Technician level training
Paramedic level training

I have worked as a call taker in ambulance control, using PSIAM and MPDS systems.

I also have management experience, being station officer at Lichfield and Tamworth, both 24 hour stations. This has involved station and rota management.
