Biography

Peter joined the School in 2016. His professional background lies in healthcare, qualifying as a Registered Mental Nurse (RMN) in 1991 and working as a Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN) in Glasgow for many years prior to specialising in the area of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), for those suffering from psychosis. He was awarded an MBA from the University of Strathclyde Business School (2002) and his career shifted towards management research after appointment by the Scottish Government, to evaluate the integration of NHS Greater Glasgow and Glasgow City Council's drug and alcohol addiction services. He subsequently acted as a Management Consultant to Glasgow Addiction Services for three years, formed part of the Scottish Government's Joint Improvement Team that supported the dissolution of the former Argyll & Clyde Health Board.

Peter completed his PhD at the University of Strathclyde Business School (2011). His research examined the relationship between strategy legitimacy and commitment in the context of 'deliberately-emergent strategy' where edicts and participation are simultaneously used in chorus. He has held Lecturer and Teaching positions at University of St Andrews School of Management (2012-2016), University of Strathclyde Business School (2007- 2012) and worked as a Research Associate with the Medical Research Council (2011). He taught ‘Strategic Management’ and ‘Strategy Consulting in Practice’ in SE Asia and the Gulf Region for ten years as part of the Strathclyde MBA (2006-2016).

Peter has undertaken extensive organisational research within the areas of addiction and child protection (NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde), cancer services (Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde), youth antisocial behaviour in Glasgow's housing regeneration areas (Medical Research Council) and advanced nursing practice (NHS Education Scotland).
