He was employed as a part-time lecturer in 2010 and became a full-time lecturer at UCLan in 2015. His main interests are the teaching of anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology. To facilitate teaching of these topics, he applies his clinical experiences as an ODP. This ensures that students experience teaching that has high applicability to their own practice and clinical experiences.
