Dan Evans, who has died aged 45 in a road accident while riding his bicycle, was a senior team leader with the healthcare research and development arm of Siemens, Healthineers. His contribution in particular to NHS pathology laboratories workflow and capacity was critical, especially in light of the post-pandemic healthcare backlog. Dan was also a keen cyclist and organic gardener.
Born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Dan was the son of Pat (nee Taggesell), a teacher, and me, Tony Evans, a headteacher. When he was six years old the family moved to Bonby in north Lincolnshire, where Dan attended Worlaby primary school and Brigg comprehensive. In 1994 he studied for a biochemistry degree at Bangor University, Gwynedd.
