Professional Profile

After a relatively short commission in the Armed forces Tony started working in the NHS at the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1990, joining the department of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics. This was a Hospital based service which participated in a strong academic collaborative with Keele University.

Following training in several specialty areas including cardiology, critical care, renal and perfusion Tony made what he felt was the obvious choice and elected for perfusion.

He accredited in 1995 and following a very busy two years of pumping, including locum work, he successfully applied for a senior position at the newly built cardiac centre in Swansea which officially opened in October 1997. Tony now leads the perfusion department at Swansea.
