Welcome to My Site
 
How best can I serve you? I’m an independent consultant with 34 years experience, gained in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Healthcare industries and was registered by the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM) as an ‘Authorised Person (Sterilizers)’ in May 1995. This AP (S) registration was formally reviewed and approved in April 2000, and again in December 2005. This title has now been changed by IHEEM; I am now registered as an, ‘Authorising Engineer (Decontamination). This AE (D) re-registration was approved in 2013. The Pharmaceutical and Biotech industry has long recognised the AP(S) as an expert professional in the field of sterilization. For me personally nothing has changed; I still offer the same professional service as I did prior to this name change, even though I am now an AE (D). An engineer by profession, I have gained much experience in most areas of sterilization technology and its application, from system and equipment design, through to qualification, maintenance, troubleshooting and management of operational, validation and qualification activities. I provide consultancy advice, audits, system reviews, training courses and technical support for autoclaves, SIP systems and dry heat/depyrogenation systems. Based in the UK, I travel worldwide in my capacity to assist companies with their specific needs. The uniqueness of my experience enables me to advise in many areas, including assistance with the expectations of regulatory bodies. I have run my own business since 1989, becoming established internationally in consulting, lecturing and training roles. During this time I have delivered services to commercial organisations based in England, Ireland, Scotland, the United States of America, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Israel, India, France, Belgium and Singapore, at all times acting with integrity and providing sound professional advice. Although being an independent consultant, I have an association with the pharmaceutical consultants, ‘NSF Health Sciences’ (initially ‘David Begg Associates’ of York). As well as being involved with sterilizers, I have also worked in different areas within the industry, e.g. the sterilization of Freeze Driers and monitoring of temperature/humidity sensitive environments, Stability Rooms, incubators, cold storage areas, warehouses etc. Please click on the links above for more information.
