Welcome

I spend much of my time nowadays developing my creative non-fiction writing.

For many, many years, I have worked with people from many different walks of life to help them develop their writing and publications. Read more.

Capturing stories in writing

I spent several years helping UK charity Macmillan Cancer Support to capture the story of its long-term work with groups of doctors, patients and nurses. This not only created a tangible record of this work (we called the process "making the invisible visible"). It also provided evidence of the value of engaging these groups in improving patient care. It culminated in a co-authored book, "Communities of influence: improving healthcare through conversations and connections" (Donaldson, Lank, Maher: 2011).
