He studied in Aberdeen, New York and Edinburgh, where he now lives. Originally a social worker, and moved into the Scottish Government as a social work inspector in 2000, before taking up a series of policy posts in the health directorates. He was the policy lead for Health Inequalities and Health Improvement, where he was responsible for the evaluation of a number of programmes which aimed to reduce health inequalities. Here he worked closely with leading evaluators and became interested making evaluations both rigorous and significant in shaping both policy and its implementation. This concern continued in his next post as the policy lead for Self Management and Health Literacy, where he was responsible for producing Making it Easy, the Scottish Government‘s Health Literacy Action Plan. This summer he was seconded to the Health and Social Care Alliance (an umbrella group for third sector organisations), as programme director, leading on the adoption of the ‘House of Care’, a re-working of the Chronic Care Model, which seeks to embed personalised care planning into general practice and specialist care, supported by local commissioning and service redesign. The task of ensuring that this endeavour is evaluated in ways which will assist both its improvement and its spread is both his current concern and responsibility.
