Alan qualified as a paediatric nurse in 2000. He worked with children in a variety of clinical settings before his return to university to study paramedic science in 2008.

Having spent some time working as a paramedic in the pre-hospital and hospital environments, he felt particularly suited to primary care where he has been working for the past 4 years. During this time he has been especially interested in ear-related problems and has often felt helpless trying to manage ear problems in primary care.

Having recommended Just Ears to patients over this period he wanted to be the one providing the care the patients needed so, bringing his 26 years of healthcare experience, Alan joined the Just Ears family in 2023. ​

Her interest in ENT came about following her own experiences of the speciality and inspired her to train as a Microsuction Practitioner. She enjoys seeing people benefit hugely from having the procedure.
