During surgical training, I found that I was more interested in the emergencies on the ward than the surgery, so decided to change my career choice to Accident and Emergency, spending a year in Australia to do so.
Specialist training in Northern region, then Consultant in beautiful Abergergavenny in Wales for 5 years. Moved back to be closer to family.
Favourite part of job: patients the team work and examining for the College.
Least favourite: risk management but it's a huge part of the job.
'I cannot commend the clinic enough. It is marvellous we have this service at all and well done to you all.'
