Kerry has been on the ANSA NEC since 2001 and currently serves as the Journal Editor. This role involves compiling the presentations from our annual conference to serve as a proceedings journal which members receive annually. Kerry also co-ordinates the reviewing of books which are often sent by publishers for comment by ANSA and reviewed by relevant specialist nurses within the field who are members of ANSA.

Away from ANSA Kerry manages a substance misuse liaison team within University Hospitals Birmingham, and is also the Clinical Nurse Specialist in Addiction Psychiatry for the Birmingham Liver Transplant Unit.

He has worked predominantly in the addiction field since 1994 in various settings and places including London, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand. He is regularly involved in teaching and lecturing and is also published in journals including the BMJ and Liver Transplantation. He recently completed his MSc in Addictive Behaviour with a research dissertation entitled: The Examination of Alcohol Use Disorders in New Attendees of a Liver Out-Patient Clinic. Other projects currently include writing a chapter on alcohol-induced liver disease and leading on a working party developing guidelines for liver transplantation for illicit drug users.
