At the age of 10 I joined St.
John Ambulance and became hooked on First Aid training. This enthusiasm has never left me. From college I worked and completed
my training in the Operating Theatre at The Thames Valley Nuffield Hospital. I completed my City and Guilds training in Operating
Department Practice through Thames Valley University and graduated in 1999. Throughout my training my interest in Pre Hospital
Care continued, whilst at The Nuffield Hospital I was contacted by a another private health care company and was invited to
work on a freelance basis providing Emergency Ambulance cover and tutoring services.
After about 12 months I was asked
to take up the post of Senior Training Consultant and Operations Manager. During my time with this company my reputation began
to grow as a Tutor, I received many requests to provide training of my own and so I decided to move on.
It
was from there that my business partner and I formed ABC Medical Services (Reading) Ltd. ABC Medical has been a
huge success story for me and we now run regular training courses at our Medical Training Centre based at Reading University.
We also provide on site training courses and ambulance services to local authorities, public and private sector
companies throughout the country.
Now that the company is established and working well I am in a position
to offer freelance services.
