About Me

My photo
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.

Ethics essay and professional practice

Spoke to my tutor regarding my ethics essay and professional practice.

She told me that a photographer I e.mailed recently Craig Ames is coming to give the MA students a talk in early December.

She also kindly offered to look at any questions I might wish to ask Craig in advance.

Craig recently exhibited work at the ways of looking exhibition, the work had similarities to my work in that he visited sites of emotional importance to him and tried to make sense of what had happened there using photography.

I felt very inspired by his work and feel it will be very helpful indeed to communicate with him.

I feel like I am progressing in the right direction, lots of ideas in the pipeline. Just need to focus those ideas and follow through.
