Board & advisory

What I bring to a board

Your board will soon be asked to approve clinical AI it cannot yet interrogate, and the regulator, the coroner and the public will expect you to have asked the right questions anyway. Most board candidates offer clinical credibility, governance experience or commercial literacy; very few offer all three with a current, specific competence in AI governance. I sit at that intersection.

Clinical risk & patient safety assurance

Eighteen years of consultant-level intensive care: the discipline of the sharpest end of medicine, where governance failures surface first. Quality, safety and clinical audit are my native territory.

AI & digital assurance

Appointed to the Royal College of Anaesthetists' Legal and Ethics Committee for AI expertise. I help boards ask the right questions of clinical AI, before regulators, coroners or patients ask them first.

Workforce & finance literacy

Led a job-planning programme that saved around £2 million, have directed my own company since 2010, and have completed the taught modules of an Executive MBA. I read the numbers as fluently as the clinical risk.
