Anaesthesia, critical care, psychiatry, and pain medicine
Executive Publisher, Cambridge
I bring more than 30 years of health care publishing experience to my work on Cambridge University Press's award-winning medical publishing portfolio. I commission print and digital content by established and up-and-coming clinicians and researchers in a variety of different formats, including clinical handbooks aimed at practitioners, edited reference books, professional books, research volumes, graduate textbooks, revision guides, and the Cambridge Elements series (short books for publication simultaneously online and in print).
The specialties in which I commission include all areas of psychiatry, psychopharmacology, anaesthesia, critical care, and pain management. I am especially keen to receive proposals that are aimed at an international audience, enabling busy healthcare professionals to carry out their work and improve outcomes in research, education, and practice.
Please contact me directly for guidelines on preparing a new proposal. You can also meet me in person at numerous international conferences throughout the year.
