Educational Consultant and Strategist providing bespoke solutions for education and training."I have known David for over a decade as a colleague involved with the training and teaching of medical trainees. In that time I have admired his integrity, openness, ability to see alternative methods, be civil in dialogue and debate coupled with a keen and so perceptive sense of what both the macro and minor aspects of what task or strategy formulation require. His personality is of openness, support, collaborative thinking focused upon the necessities required. He is amiable, diligent and honest and I have no hesitation in supporting him in any venture he undertakes.Jeff McILwain MB BCh BAO MD FRCS"

I have worked with David on numerous occasions in both consultancy and educational roles (most recently at UCLAN). He is a genuine, reliable and effective consultant and educationalist with a clear focus on outcomes. He has an engaging leadership style and empowers others to learn and apply their knowledge into everyday strategic and operational practice.I would be pleased to recommend David in any professional circumstance.

I had the pleasure of working with David at the School of Medical Sciences, Bangor University from 2009 - 2011, during this period David was Director of Education, Teaching, and Learning and tasked with developing courses for the new school. I was on the panel who worked on developing those courses, and it was a highly motivated group, and an enjoyable experience, where I learnt a great deal, and this was down to David's professionalism, motivation, management, and humour. David is a driven, motivated, and dynamic person, who will achieve anything that he sets out as a goal, he is organised, and is a very good motivator and organiser. He was a pleasure to work with.
