Simon is a Specialist Physiotherapist in diagnostic Lung Ultrasound (LUS) at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the United Kingdom. He studied Physiology (BSc Hons) at Kings College London before reading Physiotherapy (BSc Hons) at Manchester Metropolitan University qualifying in 2006. The majority of Simon’s experience has been in acute NHS respiratory services and he has been using LUS to inform my clinical practice since 2013. In 2016 he initiated an LUS training program aimed primarily at physiotherapists. To date over 250 Physiotherapists have attended his "Introduction to Lung Ultrasound" courses which are run around the UK and Europe allowing clinicians and academics to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in LUS. In 2018 Simon was invited to join the Focused Ultrasound Intensive Care (FUSIC) committee, part of the Intensive Care Society (ICS) in the United Kingdom, which is responsible for accrediting clinicians in LUS.
