David is a surgeon, educator and writer. While conducting research interviews for an MEd, he became painfully aware of the damaging impact of mistakes on surgeons and the absence of meaningful dialogue within professional or public spheres. To address this gap, he wrote the play True Cut using verbatim quotes from the surgeons, their colleagues and patients. Following performances in London, Swansea, Plymouth, Edinburgh and Amsterdam, it now forms the heart of a series of workshops for RCSEd. His novel Cutting explores these themes in more depth. His poetry aims to unravel his own experiences of mistakes: www.incisedlines.com
