A propos de l'auteur
David Mulvey's medical engineering experience goes back over 40 years. Working in the commercial sector with S&W, Vickers Medical and his own company Artemis Medical Ltd, David held roles as Senior Engineer, Technical Training Manager and Technical Director. The final 10 years of David's career were spent in the UK's National Health Service as a Technical Training Manager and Senior Technical Support Engineer. For the 12 years David held the role of Technical Training Manager, he was able to develop and design training that had real relevance for clinical engineers, particularly those just embarking on their careers. David has run countless training courses and seminars not only in the United Kingdom but also in Europe. His training has gained a worthy reputation for a quality and practical approach to many complex clinical engineering subjects. Having been retired for the past 5 years, David has used this time to write this book to preserve and pass on his experience. David splits his time between Manchester, UK, and Orlando, FL, where he lives with his wife, Valerie.
