John Amoore PhD, retired in 2015 following a career spanning over 40 years, largely applying engineering to healthcare in academia, industry and the NHS. Nearly 30 years service was given to NHS Scotland, first in Lothian and then in Ayrshire and Arran from where he retired as Head of Medical Physics with budgetary responsibilities for procuring and maintaining medical equipment. Academic training began with a BSc in Electrical Engineering which laid the foundation for his career and the recognition that engineering is about people and money as well as technology. Continuing professional development followed, including part-time study in physiology (MSc) and Biomedical Engineering (PhD), developing skills in healthcare technology, its deployment and management. John recognizes the importance of understanding the clinical situation in which medical devices are deployed. Clinical engineering requires a multi-disciplinary team approach, recognizing the focus on person centred care. People are the beneficiaries and operators of medical devices, these inherent links mandating ergonomic assessments in medical device selection. From the core clinical engineering aim of ensuring the safe application of medical devices evolved an interest in understanding the causes and prevention of adverse events.
