His postgraduate training has been undertaken initially in Bristol and Taunton – where he chaired the regional Junior Doctor’s committee, with responsibility for ensuring correct implementation of the controversial 2016 junior doctor’s contract. He has also spent time outside the UK, working in Wellington Regional Hospital, New Zealand and obtaining a scholarship to conduct neuro-oncology research in Montreal, Canada.Whilst at Bupa, Matthew is keen to learn how to successfully implement commercial innovations: through water-tight clinical governance, contracting and sustainable financing, with a view to creating a seamless patient journey.
