2005-7 NHS-ISD Scotland: Web and Media Manager In this post I was manager to one of the largest National Health Service (NHS) websites as well as managing press relations, public outreach and communications. A major undertaking was the complete redesign and restructuring of the ISD website in response to internal and external customer feedback and usability testing. This involved ‘refreshing’ more than 10,000 pages with new W3C compliant page templates, liaising with 170 authors and enforcing consistent editorial standards.

2004 -2008 (Voluntary) Consultant to the Ethiopian NGO ‘Focus on Target Audience Association’. I assisted former colleagues in Ethiopia to establish a new social marketing agency to promote HIV awareness through the mass media. Their particular focus was on the reduction of mother to child transmission. As well as writing funding proposals and designing project plans I designed and maintained their website.

2001-2 International Trachoma Eradication Initiative (ITI) As Project Manager to the media component of the Ethiopian Trachoma Eradication Initiative I recruited, managed and trained a core staff of 9 (and an extended staff of 19) to produce and distribute mass-media social marketing campaigns. This involved negotiating agreements and memoranda of understanding with national and local broadcasters for the widest possible transmission and distribution of these campaigns. We also created a mobile cinema and took health education films to remote villages. This was done in partnership with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, Orbis, World Vision and Carter Center. As well as managing on-the-ground activities during execution I was closely involved in drawing up the funding bid for this (AU$1million) project.

2001-4 Anchor Studios - Anchor Studios was a high-definition TV and multimedia production facility, which I set up in Scotland to

provide services in the newly emerging online digital media markets. Clients included NHS Scotland, BBC Scotland, DHC Transport Consultancy and National Museums of Scotland.
