“The education and healthcare sector are challenging places in the current climate, and it will take strong leadership and innovation to navigate these challenges over the forthcoming years. I look forward to facing the challenge of change and pushing the boundaries of healthcare education in my new role as the academic lead for podiatric medicine. The University of Buckingham has a strong track record of student support and teaching excellence, this combined with the ambition to try something new will be the catalyst to produce outstanding clinicians for our modernising healthcare sector”
