I am Course Director for the BPNA Acute Neurology course Acute Course
I advocated creation of this new national post-graduate course with the BPNA executive committee. I chaired development and delivery of the course. Course development involved scoping and selection of the development committee (involving paediatric neurologists, general paediatricians, paediatric and adult emergency medicine health professionals [clinicians and allied professionals] from across the UK).
I chaired regular meetings to define target audience, educational scope, learning objectives, development schedule, formulate course content and educational material, train the teaching faculty, deliver the course and review feedback from course attendees and providers. This was achieved to a set time-line and budget (in discussion with external funders and BPNA). The course has received excellent feedback from attendees. We are now expanding course availability and teaching faculty.

I regularly lecture, at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine on their Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Health course.
I undertake webinars and seminars as part of the BPNA clinical lecture series.
