The first medical graduates have been working as NHS doctors since 1st August 2007 and the dental graduates have been doing so since 2011. He worked as a Consultant Anaesthetist at Derriford Hospital, mostly in neuro-anaesthesia and is very familiar with the interface between universities and the NHS. Until retiring in late 2018 he served as Executive Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry in Plymouth, leading schools of medicine, dentistry and biomedical science.
