Clinical Safety & AI
I'm not a clinician who became interested in technology. I'm a technologist who spent ten years building clinical credibility.
I'm a registered dietitian and former NHS paramedic based in Cardiff. My focus is clinical safety and AI — specifically what it takes to make health technology work the way it was designed to, in the hands of real clinicians and real patients. That question is what I stay up about.
I write here about what I'm learning, what I'm building, and what the view looks like from inside the NHS while trying to change it.
