Having acted predominantly for National Health Service commissioners and providers since he qualified in 1991, Justin is passionate about improving primary healthcare provision which he believes starts with good social housing and education to maintain health, and having well designed patient pathways for the sick to speed recovery.

Justin initated the Cass Healthcare Forum, a discussion group at Cass Business School, where people from different arenas in the industry discuss changes and future developments in healthcare in the UK.  He recently completed his thesis for his MBA on the topic of GP consortia and the patient experience in NHS primary healthcare.

Justin has worked in Kenya, Germany and India before heading for a legal career in the City of London.  In his spare time he enjoys riding horses, cycling with his wife on their tandem in the beautiful Kent countryside and various other parts of Europe. He is active in his local church, less active in his garden, and relaxes at the opera.
