From a personal perspective, Keith is delighted to be joining the MDS UK board as a Trustee, because he has direct experience of close family members succumbing to different forms of bone cancer. Although not directly related to MDS, Keith is very aware of how these illnesses resulted in family trauma and emotional hardship, as a result of not having a supportive network to call upon. MDS UK Patient Support Group provides this essential service.
From a professional perspective Keith is a senior project manager operating at C- and senior management levels for more than twenty years. He has proven expertise in analysing and implementing solutions for complex and newly initiated projects / programmes, whether untangling existing challenges, or pioneering fresh endeavours. He has delivered as both an expert advisor and management consultant, with his work experience laying predominantly in the health and national voluntary sectors. Keith feels certain that he can utilise his professional experience and personal emotional connection, to help sustain and grow the MDS UK Patient Support Group.
