I currently work in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland in health professions' education and am also an Honorary Professor in Medical Education at Swansea University and a Visiting Professor in Healthcare Education and Leadership, University of Bedfordshire, UK. I have a long involvement in medical education, was Director of Undergraduate Medicine at Imperial College London from 1998 - 2004 and have worked around the world (incuding Central Asia, former Soviet Union, EU accession countries, Portugal and Samoa) on health reform, medical education and faculty and leadership development initiatives. My research interests and publications are in faculty development; e-learning; health and social care workforce development (especially relating to service shifts and changing workforce roles and skills mixes); law, ethics and professionalism teaching and learning; leadership development and curriculum change. I co-edit the 'Clinical teaching made easy' series (with Tim Swanwick) for the British Journal of Hospital Medicine.
