Biography

I graduated from UCH London in 1969. In 1970 I was SHO to the Leeds Regional Cardiothoracic Centre, then at Killingbeck Hospital, which gave me an abiding interest in congenital and adult cardiac disease.  After training in radiology in Leeds I was Fellow to Peter Brandt in Auckland, New Zealand in 1973.  I returned to Killingbeck Hospital as Consultant for seven years, then emigrated to Australia in 1983, to the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane. I returned to the UK in 1993 to Harefield Hospital near London, retiring in 2006. All my consultant posts have been supraregional centres of cardiac medicine, in an era that has seen the introduction of cine and then digital angiography, echocardiography, nuclear medicine, MRI and now cardiac CT. It has been my good fortune to have had hands-on experience of all of these, from coronary angioplasty to transoesophageal echo to the imaging of paediatric cardiothoracic trasplantation. I hope this little website reflects a varied career. You can contact me at , and if you want more details then click here for my outline CV and publications.
