There are various ways to contact the Education Centre staff. If you have any questions, please complete and submit the contact form. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, if you prefer, we have a main contact telephone number and email address as below and underneath this, you will find details on all the Education Centre staff. We hope this will allow you to contact the relevant person more easily. All the staff have their own email addresses and a short biography detailing their area of expertise.
I am the Education Centre Manager and I work with our Directors of Medical Education and the rest of the team to quality assure the undergraduate and postgraduate medical education here in Dumfries. That’s really just a fancy way of saying that we work hard to ensure NHS D&G delivers the best medical education we can, supporting students, trainees and qualified staff to the best of our abilities.
I have a background in marketing in the private sector and general management in the NHS and almost all of the time I love my job and consider myself very lucky to work with such a great group of people.
When not here, I enjoy spending time with my family and socialising with my friends. As a department we are very keen on good coffee and I’m a bit of a foodie – I like to eat out and am a keen cook. I love going to listen to live music. Finally, I love dogs, especially my two hounds, Hector and Hugo.
I am the Board’s Medical Illustrator and have been with the Education Centre since 1995. My role includes Graphic Design (production of posters, leaflets, forms, presentations, etc.) and Audio-Visual support within the Education Centre.
I am also a part-time Aggression & Violence Reduction Instructor for the Board.
I’m a professional member of the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) and a Registered Medical Illustrator with the Academy for Healthcare Science.
Outside of work my interests are quite wide and varied. I’m a keen photographer, favouring landscapes over other subjects and am a lifelong fan of Queen of the South FC.
