I have practiced in all areas of environmental health (food safety, health and safety, housing, and environmental protection) but most of post qualification experience was in the field of environmental protection where I also spent a number of years as the team manager for.In 2008 I joined the Health Protection Agency as an Environmental Public Health Scientist in the then Chemical Hazards and Poisons Division. I moved to the HPA’s Health Emergency Planning Service in 2009 taking a lead role in risk management, chemical hazards, radiation, flooding, etc. in the resilience function.
