Writer and creator of Enrolled Nursing, Andy has over twenty years experience of Nursing in inpatient and community settings, both in the United Kingdom and around Australia.

Originally training in Norwich, England as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Andy spent three months travelling through SouthEast Asia in 1989, ending up in Australia where he decided to stay.

Andy continued his studies with a degree in Medical/Surgical Nursing at Sydney's University of Technology and then went on to undertake a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy at the Jansen Newman Institute in New South Wales.

After performing psychotherapy in private practice and nursing in Sydney for a number of years, Andy returned to Tassie and joined TAFE Tasmania in 2000 (now the Tasmanian Polytechnic) where he got sidelined into teaching Information Technology, specialising in Unix and computer networking. He moved to the Health, Aged and Enrolled Nursing teaching team in 2007-2008, where he taught The Craft to new aspirants, whilst also undertaking a Masters degree in Nursing at the University of Tasmania.

In addition to his main professional interests of Psychology and Nursing, Andy is still an IT man at heart and maintains a number of websites on various themes (some more dubious than others), including FileWombat.com. He also likes to keep his hand in by doing regular clinical work for the Department of Psychiatry at the Launceston General Hospital and is a Justice of the Peace for Tasmania..

Andy lectures in Nursing at universities and polytechnics. His work includes the development of simulated training environments, including computer controlled mannequins used for training nursing and medical students and other clinical staff.
