Adrian commenced his theatre nursing career in 1982 as the Falklands war started! Since retiring from the Naval Nursing Service (QARNNS) fourteen years ago, Adrian returned to his home cities, Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital to become one of the first Orthopaedic Surgical Care Practitioners (SCP) in England. A role where non-medical professionals practice within a Consultant led surgical operating team.
Since 2004 he has encouraged local SCP students as a Lecturer Practitioner within the University of East Anglia and has represented AfPP in national working parties/consultations on advanced perioperative roles and has also spoken internationally on this subject.
After working locally in South West & East association branches, Adrian co-led the new AfPP Advancing Surgical Roles SIG.
He is honoured to become the new boy on the board! and along with Tracy, fellow trustees, staff and members is looking forward to facing the future challenges that the association will face.
Married with two emerging young adult offspring, when not in practice, he is an ardent dog walker! (Patterdale Terrier), theologian and Nelson addict! |  |
