After 16 years in the Optometry department, including 5 as Head, I took up the post of Interim Deputy Head of Aston Business School. That was interesting and brought a different set of challenges. Then I was successful in my application for the position of Dean of the Centre of Learning and Innovation in Professional Practice. I'm also a visiting Professor in Clinical Optometry at the Arab-American University, Ramallah, Palestine.
