Here at TUH we have an established track record of scientists, engineers and medics working together to make sure patients benefit from the latest developments in both the medical and engineering fields.

Shirley Ingram - Advanced Nurse Practitioner

Shirley is an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) and her speciality is the assessment and diagnosis of chest pain. She set up the Hospital’s first ANP-led Community Chest Pain Clinic in 2011. Shirley wanted to set up the service because she believed that if patients could be identified and treated earlier, many would not need to be admitted to the Hospital.

In his role as an Interventional radiologist, Michael diagnoses and treats a wide variety of diseases. He cares for patients who have a range of medical conditions by harnessing the power of advanced imaging (Ultrasound, X-ray, CT) to perform minimally invasive surgery with unprecedented precision.
