After studying Natural Sciences with Open University, he went on to join Durham University in the centre for clinical management development before later joining the centre for public policy and health as a research associate in 2008.
Mr Erskine, in his position as executive director of the research body, European Health Property Network, organised conferences and workshops throughout Europe and spoke on health care issues.
