I have known Andy professionally for just under 20 years. Over that time, both our roles have changed more than once, but in all our interactions I have always been impressed by his clinical knowledge, his broad range of experience and his ability to offer advice and effective solutions. Often this has been when faced with the sort of complex and high-risk circumstances that can provoke anxiety across MDTs and clinical teams. Andy’s expertise, sound judgement and calmness under difficult circumstances have been invaluable in moving forward situations that had become “stuck”. I should add that Andy is an excellent communicator and engenders both trust and respect in those that work with him closely.
