This is not a project portfolio. Most of the work here belongs to teams, institutions and communities — as it should.
I use this page to show the questions I keep following and some of the collaborations that have given those questions somewhere useful to go.
Not in the guideline. On a Tuesday night, with the team and equipment that are really there.
Sometimes the specialist. Sometimes the senior nurse who has quietly kept the ward functioning for twenty years.
Policies and national plans are useful. I am mostly interested in whether they survive first contact with implementation.
Frugal does not mean second-rate. It means stripping away what the context cannot sustain without stripping away safety.
The point of the examples below is to show where I contribute, not to erase everybody else who made the work possible.
Training, implementation and evaluation with teams working where referral is sometimes a road trip rather than a plan.
Helping countries and collaborators ask what happens after a surgical plan exists — who owns which action, by when, with what data.
Exploring whether distributed peer networks can move useful expertise to the person making the decision in time.
Registries, operating rooms, volumes and the recurring discovery that a denominator can ruin a perfectly good story.
Designing around workforce, infrastructure, maintenance, affordability and the inconvenient persistence of reality.
An emerging interest in the practical skills needed when change depends on people whose incentives are not identical to yours.
