He also coordinates the UK Team in facilitating applications of the ACG System in the UK NHS. A registered nurse by background, Alan has over 30 years’ experience in the UK National Health Service (NHS) in clinical, operational and project management posts within hospitals and primary care. He has a keen interest in the use of information to support managerial and clinical decision-making and to inform improvements in the provision of patient-centred services. Between 2010 and 2013, Alan led a project to implement the ACG System across 600 GP Practices in the south of England.
