Throughout his career he has won many awards such as The Mary Powell Orthopaedic Nursing Award; a Smith and Nephew Foundation Doctoral Nursing Research Scholarship and most recently the British Journal of Nursing ‘Pressure Care Nurse of the Year’.

A clinician first and foremost, he is currently working as a Nurse Consultant/Associate Lecturer – Tissue Viability with affiliations to Lincolnshire Health Care Services and the Universities of Lincoln, Hertfordshire and Sunderland, with his stated objective that of ‘promoting evidence-based best practice’. He continues to review and advise on specialist patient care and is an editorial advisor for the Journal of Wound care amongst other publications.
