After practicing in numerous areas of Diagnostic Radiography for several years at the Derby hospitals and viewing first hand the important role of ultrasound imaging, Andrew decided to make the leap in 2008 and obtained a training post in Medical Ultrasound completing a PgDip and gaining competencies in general abdominal, head & neck and obstetric scanning.

In 2012 he was able to begin developing skills in Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound which was formalised in the shape of completing a PgCert at Sheffield Hallam. Due to service demand at the trust Andrew was practicing at, a natural progression was made to develop competencies in ultrasound guided injections which resulted in him performing a range of injections on a weekly bases in his capacity as lead MSK Sonographer.

Andrew has taught MSK ultrasound at the University of Derby over the last ten years and been involved in many nationally run ultrasound courses in recent years. In 2019 he was invited to co-author two chapters for an internationally published MSK ultrasound training book. In 2023 Andrew started work in a new Consultant Sonographer post specialising in Rheumatology / MSK ultrasound and is currently finishing his MSc in Health Sciences.

Andrew is married to wife Sarah and has two children. He enjoys watching films and sport, travel, spending time with his family and long distance running.
