Andrew Pritchard

Position: Standards Chair

Who am I?

I am the lead clinical scientist and clinical service lead for respiratory physiology at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and have been working within the field of respiratory physiology for 21 years.

My background is in sports and exercise science, and this has provided a solid foundation for my passion and involvement within CPET throughout my career.

I enjoy working with some fabulous individuals daily and lead on a very busy service in the heart of the Black Country.

A bit about me

I’m passionate about service innovation, improving quality standards and patient experience. I try to do my bit for the profession through my work within the ARTP. I have been a Standards Committee member for about 8 years, I regularly assess during the ARTP professional exams and have recently started contributing to the assessment of spirometry portfolios. I sit on the ARTP CPET faculty and contribute to ARTP CPET courses.

APBike

For my sins, I am a lifelong Nottingham Forest fan. Id like to say that a return to the topflight following a 23-year absence has settled my nerves, but I think the opposite has happened and I’m constantly on the lookout for grey hairs!

I am a keen mountain biker and can sometimes be found flying down hills or Welsh mountains. I’m also a dad to a 4 yr old daredevil, who seems to be following in my footsteps (tyre tracks?), has no fear and keeps me on my toes!

What would you like to achieve in your new role?

I would like to continue progressing the Standards Committee in the same direction as my excellent predecessors.

I would like to contribute to the membership through projects aimed at raising professional standards, improving on clinical standards, and promoting involvement of ARTP members in these projects. The committee will also represent the membership during consultation with other organisations or professional bodies. I already have a list of exciting projects to get off the ground!
