An academic, manager and practitioner, he joined MMU from the University of Northumbria where he led organisational changes that made it the best UK University for nursing for three years running. He also set up effective partnerships with NHS trusts to create practice research units, oversaw the successful move of North Staffordshire College from the NHS to Keele University, and was one of the pioneering leaders to develop nursing education within HE.
