About Tom Lister
I'm a clinical scientist and Laser Protection Adviser, and I've spent most of my career working with lasers in medicine. I'm currently President of the British Medical Laser Association, I hold a PhD in skin optics and laser treatment, and I represent the UK on the international groups that write the laser and eyewear safety standards.
I have worked with lasers in medicine since 2008, including six years heading a regional skin laser service. Alongside advising clinics, I have published over 50 peer-reviewed papers and lectures on laser safety and skin optics.
I do the work myself, so the person who writes your Local Rules is the person who picks up the phone when you have a question.
