Outline of career

Peter qualified as a clinical physiologist in 1993 and has practiced in both private, mobile and NHS clinical environments. He gained his BSc (Hons) Microbiology in 2000 from Cardiff Univesity, PGCE in 2004 from the University of Newport, and a Masters in 2005 from the Open University.

Peter is a specialist in electrophysiology and cardiac rhythm device management. He gained his certified cardiac device specialist status (CCDS) from the Heart Rhythm Society (formerly NASPE) in 2007. Peter is an active SCST council member. He holds the position of Chair of Standards and professional body examiner; and former position as honorary secretary.

Peter's current research interests are in the cognitive, functional and ethical competencies of 12 lead ECG clinical practice; and the electrophysiological changes associated with sudden cardiac death syndromes.

Research Interest

• Screening methods for sudden cardiac death in the young
• Electrophysiological fragmentation on the 12 lead ECG
• Constructivist approach and cognitive apprenticeship in clinical education
• Web-based learning environments for clinical physiology
• Policy development for clinical cardiac physiological techniques and procedures
