He has developed a wealth of knowledge and technical skills over the years in clinical and managerial roles, and is a long-standing champion of the importance of patient centred care in Audiology. Conor passionately believes that taking the time to fully understand the hearing needs of each client is crucial, as this enables him to design truly individual solutions to deliver quality of life improvements to those under his care.
