Continuing Professional Development
I believe in the importance of keeping up-to-date and actively maintain my knowledge and skills. My interests are varied and I undertake courses where appropriate. Development of potential and leadership is as important to me as technical expertise and I have enjoyed the opportunities I have had in this arena.
