Hey 👋 I'm Andrew.
I am currently a Principal Clinical Scientist and Consultant Clinical Scientist trainee at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
I lead the Clinical Scientific Computing & Informatics Section, spending my days crafting software and computational solutions into clinical reality, and my interests include software as a medical device (SaMD), medical device development, computational medicine, medical physics, healthcare AI and digital healthcare science.
I am currently undertaking a Doctor of Clinical Science (DClinSci) at the University of Manchester as part of the NHS Higher Specialist Training Programme in Clinical Bioinformatics.
