I was born in Sheffield in the UK, in February 1948, just before the national health service began on 5 July 1948.

Initially, I studied as an engineer in the Royal Air Force (5 Jan 65 - 21 Apr 67) as a Halton Apprentice (202/203 entries). I completed my training as an engineer gaining an HNC in Mechanical and Production Engineering at Sheffield Polytechnic.

On 29 Apr 1974 I moved into personnel and training management at Tyzack Sons and Turner Limited. After working in the engineering sector, I then spent three years in the higher education sector as the very first head of personnel at Sheffield City Polytechnic (now called Sheffield Hallam University)and two years in municipal government at Barnsley MBC in South Yorkshire.

In May 1980 I was invited to work for Dr Ian McKim Thompson at the British Medical Association as one of the first six industrial relations officers of the BMA. We did a great job in those first few years. However, in 1989 the time had come for me to move on. The job was becoming routine and Ian was no longer in charge. I left the BMA after almost ten years on 31 December 1989.

Since 1 January 1990 I have been a self employed management consultant running my own company - Practice Development Consultants Limited (PDC) - working in the UK, central and eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. PDC is registered in the City Court in Sofia, Bulgaria, as a limited liablity company and in the UK as an unincorporated partnership.

In September 2004, I was appointed a director of CIDC Limited, T/A CIDC Consulting, which is an international management consultancy specialising in public sector development and health sector reform. I can be emailed at CIDC by clicking Stuart Morgan at CIDC Consulting.

Currently, I am working for Sofreco as the project manager of the Barbados Health Sector Programme funded by the EC. In the Caribbean, I am the appointed and authorised representative of the major French sister companies, Sofreco and Conseil Sante.

During the first six months of 2005, I was working in Egypt as European Commission HR advisor in the Ministry of Health and Population. Last year, I worked in East Timor as Team Leader of a scoping mission on a joint EC/World Bank team. At the beginning of 2004, I was in Serbia as Team Leader of the EU funded project "Support to the Public Health Development in Serbia".

Previously I was working as project manager and team leader of the project "Development of District Level Health Plans in Suez and Qena Governorates". The project was within the Ministry of Health and Population, Arab Republic of Egypt.

Previously I was working for Nicare in Belfast as the team leader of the UK DFID funded project "Capacity Building in the Ministry of Health".

Please check out my photo website to see where I have been.

At the end of 2002, I carried out the mid-term review of the EC 1999 Food Security Programme in Albania.

Previously, I was working in Bulgaria for a World Bank funded project as Team Leader of a Public Relations Project. Prior to that I worked in Russia on a health project; in the Gambia as the TVET advisor to the government; and before that I was in Sri Lanka working on a Public Expenditure Management Systems project in the Ministry of Finance and Planning.

My long term international work began in 1997. Between January 1997 and 31 July 1998, I worked as the Team Leader of a long term project for PricewaterhouseCoopers PricewaterhouseCoopers. I was also appointed as the EU Health Policy Advisor to the Ministry of Social Affairs in Estonia.

Between 1 March 1999 and November 2000 I was the resident project manager/Team Leader and EU Health Policy Advisor to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Lithuania.

After a very disappointing time at Rowlinson Technical Secondary school in Sheffield, I have subsequently studied hard during my working life. As a result, after gaining professional qualifications with what is now the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, I gained a Master of Arts degree in law from the University of Leicester. I was then elected as a member of the alumni association and I was a member of the Council of the University for three years until 1999.

In later studies, I gained a bachelors degree in politics and social science from the Open University.

I am very honoured to have been elected to the senior status of Fellow of five prefessional bodies in the UK. I am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute, a Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts, and a Fellow of the The Royal Institute of Public Health. These qualifications mean a lot to me. I am also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, which is an independent, apolitical organization of doctors, dentists, scientists and others involved in medicine and health care.

I am Member of the Institute of Healthcare Management, which is the premier qualification for health service managers. Currently, I am Chair of the Independent Sector Group of IHM and a member of the National Council.

What are my interests?

I have always been interested in music, and probably I have more interest in rock and roll music than in any other type. I am, however, an avid jazz freek and an opera fan since I went to Estonia (as I said earlier, I was there between February 1997 and the end of July 1998 working for Price Waterhouse on an EU PHARE project).

I have two fantastic daughters, Sally (born in 1972), Katie (b 1974) and a wonderful son, Bryn (b 1976). Katie has given me three wonderful grandchildren, Luke, Kirsten and Natalya.
