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 way they felt.

My talks are charged at £50 for the George Marshall Medical Museum Worcester which is a charity. medicalmuseum.org contains previous research by myself and other volunteers and details of other volunteers who speak locally on medical history. The museum at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital site can be visited on weekdays.

I researched First World War patients at Powick Mental Hospital, near Worcester, for my Masters in Local History 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 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 which crossed over with local medical research when I discovered my 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.
