I am a senior analyst for Kable, Guardian News & Media’s public services market intelligence unit, where I specialise in secondary healthcare. I have previously been the launch editor for Guardian Healthcare Network,  its predecessor SmartHealthcare.com and Guardian Social Care Network, as well as news editor of Guardian Government Computing. (You can contact the editorial staff for these networks through healthcare@guardian.co.uk, socialcare@guardian.co.uk and ggc@guardian.co.uk.)

I have written about IT for well over a decade, having worked as a reporter for Computing then as a freelancer for various titles including the Guardian, Health Service Journal and Government Computing. This has included coverage of general computing issues, but I have had a focus on government for many years. I have also written about healthcare, on both IT topics and management issues. Significant articles can be found through the portfolio pages linked to in this paragraph and available on the ‘About’ tab in the navigation bar, and through the maps on this site – red dots for IT, blue for healthcare.

All my by-lined articles for the Guardian are available through my Guardian writer profile, and new ones appear on my Twitter feed. The writer profile also includes articles written for various parts of the Guardian, including the Technology and Business Sense sections, when I was a freelancer.

I live in West Oxfordshire, David Cameron’s constituency (which I wrote about for Guardian Politics when he was elected Conservative leader).
