Career
After both resident house jobs in Western Infirmary, I
entered the West of Scotland surgical training scheme which I left at the
end of 1978.I moved to department of surgery in GRI in 1979 to spend
nearly 4years in full time research investigating the role of lasers in GI
haemorrhage. After completing this work,
I changed specialties and entered West of Scotland Radiology training scheme
again based in GRI. I became a consultant Radiologist at Stobhill
Hospital in May 1988 and had 22 wonderful years working in a close knit
department in a patient friendly environment. In addition to day to day duties, I was closely involved in planning the
Ambulatory Care Hospital Radiology Department in Stobhill. I also chaired
Scottish PACS reference group for 8 years. I retired on 1st August 2010.
