Hi, I'm Richard! I passionately believe that education has the power to transform lives. In my current role as global education technology lead at the National Health Service (NHS), supporting the WHO Academy, I get to do just that, by researching, developing, and innovating with new technologies to support every step of a healthcare learners’ education.
Throughout my career, I have supported the delivery of education and training with health and care organisations across the UK; international development work with the WHO, WHO Academy and governments in Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and South East Asia; building learning and acting as an ambassador for LearnAppeal with their work in Kenya and East Africa.

My research is in bioethics, philosophy of medicine, and personal identity. In bioethics, my work has focused on emerging technologies, including ethical issues related to overdiagnosis, personalised medicine, neurotechnologies, and artificial organs and prostheses. In philosophy of medicine I have contributed to conceptual debates on definitions of health and disease, and epistemological investigation of personalised medicine. My work on identity has examined narrative approaches to understanding persons, and their application to understanding ethical dimensions of self-change. I am developing a research interest in ethical issues related to drug and alcohol policy, aiming to draw on resources from feminist public health ethics to contribute to understanding and reducing drug and alcohol-related harm.
