Dr James Munro is director of research at Patient Opinion, a Sheffield-based social enterprise using the web to enable people to feed back about - and perhaps help improve - their local health services.
James has a background in clinical medicine, public health and health services research, and recently stepped down from a 20 year stint editing the health policy magazine healthmatters.
He was lured away from a promising academic research career at Sheffield University by the bright lights of Web 2.0, and the emerging possibilities for new forms of engagement by citizens in their public services - especially the NHS, which we all want to be as good as it could be.
