Dr Richard Hagan

Richard is a Chartered Engineer (IPEM) and has been employed as a Consultant Healthcare Scientist since 2010. He has over 20 years’ experience in visual electrophysiology. He has led the visual electrophysiology service since 2009, taking over from the founder of Clinical Engineering Dr Malcolm Brown and this service has continued to be one of the main centres for visual electrophysiology testing in the North West region with more than 10 trusts referring their patients for testing. There is a paediatric arm to the service which is performed at Alder Hey. In 2013 Richard took over the duties of the head of Clinical Measurement when Dr Guy Lightfoot retired.

He has been involved with training medical physicists and clinical engineers for more than 15 years and has been an end point examiner (to obtain state registration) for close to 10 years, firstly acting on behalf of IPEM for ACS and latterly for IPEM on behalf of the National School of Healthcare Science at the OSFA exams. He has provided supervision for numerous MSc projects and 2 PhDs to date.

Research is of great interest to Richard and he has successfully investigated new techniques prior to clinical adaptation. He has collaborated in large clinical trials with Professor Simon Harding, ensuring high quality visual electrophysiology data can be produced along with other clinical outcomes. Other collaborations are underway with Prof Racheal Williams and Dr Victoria Kearns at the university, looking at developing new diagnostic devices and basic science underpinning the ERG. He has collaborated with Mr Peter Watt in developing bespoke solutions for patient testing across all 3 labs over a number of years. Other collaborations include post process signal processing with Tony Fisher, which have resulted in several publications and perhaps a dozen national and/or international presentations.
