Congratulations go to IT infrastructure engineer Alex McTear who has graduated from Glasgow University with a Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security.
Alex joined NHS Lanarkshire’s eHealth department in April 2018 and, in October that year, enrolled in the graduate apprenticeship with Glasgow University, initially attending day release, to study towards completing a degree in cyber security.
Alex said: “I had no qualification in IT when I joined NHS Lanarkshire in a voluntary capacity. It was only until I moved into my current post when I decided to study for the degree course.
“I’m delighted to have qualified in cyber security. Despite the challenges of having a new baby boy in year two of my study, it was a privilege to have taken part in the course. I’ve learned lots of skills and knowledge which I’ll be able to put into practice”.
