Andrew is the Clinical Director for our Community Services Division at Cora Health, where he plays a central role in the development and execution of our Clinical Strategy. In addition, he is accountable for clinical quality, innovation, AHP leadership, and health inequalities across our FCP, MSK, Pain, Rheumatology and Talking Therapies services.
Andrew is an ex-Army Officer having previously commissioned into The Royal Yorkshire Regiment. He joined Connect Health (one of the organisations that formed Cora Health) in April 2017 as Clinical Lead.
An experienced Consultant MSK Physiotherapist, he subsequently progressed to Head of MSK, responsible for our FCP, Tier 1 and Tier 2 MSK Services. In May 2023, Andrew was promoted to Director of Clinical Strategy, joining the Executive Team, and assuming responsibility for all specialities within our Community Division.
Andrew has a reputation as an expert clinician and thought leader on an international scale. His PhD focused on the indications and rationale for diagnostic imaging within primary and community care. As an active researcher with numerous clinical papers in peer-reviewed journals, he is a regular speaker at worldwide conferences. In 2025, Andrew was appointed Visiting Professor at Liverpool Hope University in recognition of his considerable experience, expertise, and standing in healthcare.
Andrew has held Executive positions in several organisations including EUSSER (Chair of Comms); the Musculoskeletal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (Chair of Education), and most recently the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine (Diplomate Chair) – the first AHP (Allied Health Professional) to join the FSEM Executive Council.
Andrew sits on the Board of Trustees at St Oswald’s Hospice ( a North East-based charity) and attempts to practice what he preaches around physical activity, as a very average runner and cricketer.
