Medical doctor, clinical assistant professor, former legal aid lawyer, writer, and speaker. Previously often wrung out by work or working in troubled teams, I now study, write, and speak about how people who do tough work we care about can have better working lives and do more good.

I’m a GP (primary care physician) serving rural Indigenous communities in Canada, and teach at the University of British Columbia. I’ve helped develop primary healthcare services on four continents; taught at four universities in the UK and Canada; advised and helped lead public and non-profit organizations, a hospital, and a local government; trained and mentored countless doctors, nurses, medical students, lawyers, managers, and others; and worked as a human rights barrister at Matrix Chambers in London, appearing in courts up to the UK’s Supreme Court. I have degrees in medicine, law, natural sciences, and social policy from Oxford and London Universities, and have worked with marginalized communities for over 25 years. Originally British; roots in the US; living in Canada.
