Frank Wood studied for a degree in biochemistry and physiology at North East London Polytechnic in Stratford in the mid-80s. After doing voluntary work at Friends of the Earth on City Road for a year, he began work at Central Middlesex Hospital at Park Royal in west London as a trainee pathology scientist.
He became a shop steward and London regional council member of the ASTMS, Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs, which in 1988 became the MSF, Manufacturing, Science and Finance union. He studied for a fellowship in the Institute of Biomedical Scientists and went on to work in the laboratories at Dulwich Hospital and then Kings College Hospital at Denmark Hill in Southwark, where he is now the Chair of the staff committee and on the UNITE executive council.
In this clip he describes how large and unsophisticated the technology was in the 1980s.
