With  a  strong  interest  and  dedication  for  all  Ultrasound  Applications  in  Anaesthesia, Emergency  Medicine  and  Intensive  Care  but  with  a  special  focus on TOE and Ultrasound Guided Regional Anaesthesia I started  with  Needles  and  Nerves  under  direct  ultrasound  vision  in  2003 in adults and kids. Since 2005 I am very confident in applying ultrasound  guided  regional  anaesthesia  all  over  the human body.

I was Director  of  the  first  Rotterdam  Ultrasound  in  Regional  Anaesthesia  Workshop  in 2005 and since  then  I am leading  workshops,  teaching  and  lecturing  nationally  and  internationally on ultrasound applications in anaesthesia.

As part of my teaching activities I do help departments setting up ultrasound guided regional anaesthetic services by providing cost-effective target oriented in-house training and supervision according to individual needs.

My main interest is in applied anatomy, I have very happily been involved in anatomy teaching for two decades.  I enjoy teaching anatomy to undergraduate and postgraduates such as Sports Physicians, Surgical Trainees, Anaesthetists, Physiotherapists and Orthopaediac Surgeons.  My teaching approach is to use the cadaver and computer, l have created a number of web tutorials, DVDs, and CD-ROMs. 

The subject of my PhD was to determine the anatomical basis for using alternative thigh muscles in the creation of a dynamic neosphincter.

I worked at The College of Surgeons of England from 1986 until 1992 when l left the College l held the post of Prosector in Anatomy. I was the last person to hold this post at The Royal College of Surgeons.

In 1992 l took up the post of Prosector in the Medical School of Newcastle University.

In October 2007 l secured the post of Senior Lecturer in Anatomy in the School of Applied Sciences at Northumbria University.
