Hi, my name is Ian and I live in Redditch. I have been actively involved in public and patient involvement (PPI) for several years now and continue to be involved as I believe that involving members of the public adds a significant amount of value to the design and delivery of research. I want to contribute to the work of the NIHR ARC WM by sharing knowledge/skills that I developed in my career as a business/systems analyst for the NHS Information Authority and my personal experience as a user of healthcare services.

In my spare time, you’ll find me rebuilding and riding elderly British motorcycles or playing Chicago and Delta blues on the guitar.
