What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior laboratory roles where I can lead quality management, accreditation preparation, staff development, and implement robust validation and LIMS processes in a compliant, patient-focused environment.

I am an experienced State Registered Biomedical Scientist with over 28 years in clinical laboratories across the UK and Germany, holding MSc in Bioscience and active IBMS and HPC membership. I specialise in laboratory quality, method validation, EQA performance and staff training.

As a Lab Director/Clinical Lead/Quality Manager I have led UKAS preparation, developed document control and training systems, managed validation/verification of molecular and PCR assays, and overseen procurement, budgets and supplier selection. I have hands-on expertise with a wide range of analysers and LIMS platforms.

I am committed to continual professional development and quality improvement, fluent in four languages, and focused on delivering accurate, compliant laboratory services while mentoring and developing staff.
