Dr John Patterson is one of NICE’s clinical advisors and a member of the Clinical Directorate senior leadership team. His work supports individual projects, but his main focus is uptake and adoption of NICE guidance past and present.

He is also employed as an associate medical director for NHS Greater Manchester, working across hospitals looking at elective recovery and reform. He still finds time to do weekly GP sessions in Hollinwood and very much looks forward to each weekend with his family.
