| Still working full time, if being professor counts! Pulled my NHS pension at end of 2014 and returned in February to part time posts with Newcastle University and FT, non-executive director for NHS England and Chairman of a biotech company, QuantuMDx ltd, based in Newcastle and close to producing a point of care DNA testing device. I will give up my job as genetics lead for the National Institute of Health Research over the next year but have new jobs for DH helping sort out rare disease registries and with a new organisation called the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health, helping build international genomic reference databases. |
Linda spent three days a week in Scotland helping our daughter Danielle and Ben raise our four grandchildren until last
summer when the family moved to Canterbury with Ben's new lectureship. Our son Jamie has finally emerged from the
horrors of recovered memories of abuse by a carer when he was five, a trauma which has had a devastating effect on our
family over the last five years and nearly cost his life. We look forward to seeing him flourish again when his children's book
"the little boy with his head in the clouds" is published later this year.
