My PhD thesis and expertise is “assessment”.

I am an invited contributor to the National Teaching and Learning Forum Project on “Assessment as /of/for learning “ And have contributed a case study on integrated assessment. 

I have spent the last 5 years re-designing and validating an exam format for the European General Surgery Fellowship examination. This included new assessments on higher order skills such as clinical decision making, prioritisation, consent.

Following the appraisal and accreditation of this Examination I was invited to join the CESMA team as an appraiser of European examinations at fellowship level in other surgical/medical divisions.
