Head of Programme (CPD)

NHS Education for Scotland

Andy is the Head of Programme (CPD) within NES Healthcare Science. The primary focus of his work is the development of a range of learning resources, to provide CPD opportunities for our Healthcare Science workforce and wider community. These resources include e-learning modules hosted on our Turas Learn platform, in addition to interactive workshops and webinars hosted on MS Teams.

Andy attained an MEng degree from the University of Glasgow before carrying out postgraduate research at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit. It was this experience which made him realise he really enjoyed working with patients and wanted to pursue a career in Healthcare Science. He began his training as a Clinical Scientist in 2011 within the West of Scotland Mobility and Rehabilitation Centre (WestMARC) in Glasgow, and is now a Senior Bioengineer within WestMARC’s Wheelchair and Seating service. His expertise is providing specialised seating equipment and investigating Adverse Incidents, to determine what was at fault and prevent similar incidents.

Outside of work, Andy loves spending time with family, discovering new music and running to (try and) keep fit.
