I have been an independent consultant in the UK health and social services sector since 1992. For over seven years my principal client was the UK Government’s Department of Health which used me to manage numerous projects including the Integration of Community Equipment Services (ICES) between 2001 and 2005. In 2004 I also organised the Telecare Policy Collaborative - a major experiment in policy development. Since that time I have been running a news service for people interested in worldwide telecare and telehealth (remote patient monitoring) developments.In 2007 I launched my own add-in for PowerPoint, building on my experience as Director of Sales and Operations for Visual Exemplars Ltd, the developer and supplier of Perspector, the 3D add-in for PowerPoint.These days I am increasingly doing internet-based work, including website development, search engine optimisation, etc.
