I work in archives and libraries and I am interested in the social side of medical history, looking at the people involved, their motivations and the lives they lived.

My talks are charged at £60 plus travel for the George Marshall Medical Museum Worcester which is a charity see details at medicalmuseum.org

I have been giving talks since 2015 to Probus clubs, U3A, WI, mature luncheon clubs and more in afternoons and evenings.

I researched First World War patients at Powick Mental Hospital, near Worcester, for my Masters in Local History in 2018/9 at University of Birmingham and was awarded a bursary to research this for the Worcestershire World War One Hundred project.

For my research on Victorian funding at Worcester Infirmary during my Degree course 2012/4 at University of Worcester I won awards from the University and from Worcestershire Historical Society.

I also now have a talk based on family history research since I discovered my great great great grandfather rebuilt Worcester Dispensary. This includes many images from the Worcestershire Archives.

I am prepared to deliver talks on my previous research or, given sufficient time, to research a topic on request related to local medical or social history.
