Career

Anaesthesia at GRI till ‘77, enjoyed the training in a great department with good colleagues.

P/Time at “The Vale” 78-84 in some pretty scary on-call obstetric and trauma situations, then lastly ECT sessions at Gartnavel Royal till thwarted by CME requirements and reluctantly retired about 2001.

G P from ‘77 till now, will retire in June after 34 years in Maryhill.  I did a lot of  OOH work between 1972 and 2002 , the best set-up being  GEMS, prior to NHS 24. Did an LMC stint and LPA in LHCC days.

I still enjoy the patients [well most of them!], hate EMIS, CHIPS and appraisals and look forward to new non medical opportunities soon.
