Andrew is currently the Managing Director (Designate) of the City Health Care Partnership (CHCP), the Community Interest Company (CIC) to which Hull Teaching Primary Care Trust will transfer its provider services on 1 June 2010.

After starting his career as a Registered General Nurse (RGN), Registered Mental Nurse (RMN) and Registered Health Visitor (RHV), Andrew held numerous NHS clinical and managerial positions before progressing to the Northern and Yorkshire Regional Office and the Department of Health (DoH) in Leeds. Andrew then became the Director of Primary Health Care Services and Nursing for West Hull PCT.

Following the reconfiguration of PCTs through the governmental white paper ‘Commissioning a Patient Led NHS’ (2005), Andrew was successful in gaining the post of Director of Provider Services and Nursing for NHS Hull, which led to his appointment as Managing Director (Designate) of CHCP. The team at CHCP have been working as a DoH Pathfinder for the externalisation of the PCT’s current provider services into a Social Enterprise CIC since early 2006.
