👋 My name is Jack and I am a medical doctor, product leader and freelance consultant in Germany.
In my most recent role as Product Lead at Geeky Medics, I helped to deliver a world-class educational experience to over 300,000 users from 150+ countries through an award-winning platform. My previous work in digital medical education saw me working alongside a distributed clinical team in collaboration with Maastricht University, helping to deliver medical education through a novel digital campus environment. I am proactive and disruptive in all of my work, owing to my broad skillset:
🖥️ product development – helping to develop digital medical education services;
🌳 project management – assisting in the coordination of an international team of clinicians;
🤖 artificial intelligence – delivering input on AI products for bespoke needs;
🎯 strategy – utilising my expertise as a registered physician to provide specialist solutions;
✅ compliance – liaising with regulatory bodies across Europe to ensure strict adherence, and;
🗣️ communication – employing my first-class humanities degree to build bridges between health and tech.
I have a strong clinical background and have previously been certified as an advanced life support provider with experience in acute medicine, trauma and orthopaedic surgery, geriatric medicine and emergency medicine, working for the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. I provided frontline treatment for patients suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia, for which my organisation was awarded the George Cross, the highest civilian honour for gallantry of the British government. I also take pride in my academic contributions to medicine, having published original medical education research in the Journal of Anatomy, designing and launching a MOOC (massive open online course) aimed at undergraduate medical students which reached 20,000 users, and having delivered presentations for the North of England Surgical Society and the Association for the Study of Medical Education.
I hold a MBBS Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from Newcastle Medical School (established 1834), as well as a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Creative Writing and English literature. In my spare time I enjoy long walks in nature and writing, having had poetry published by the NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory in the USA.
📖 More on the academics
I have had involvement with audit, research and teaching, including:
- undertaking a service evaluation of rectal cancer management within a single NHS Trust,
- designing a study to identify creative writing as an anatomy teaching supplement (delivered as an oral presentation at the 2016 Spring Trainees in the Association of Medical Education (TASME) conference at Imperial) and later in the Journal of Anatomy, and,
- acting as a cadaveric anatomy instructor to accelerated MBBS undergraduates at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
