Career

After house jobs I trained in general practice but found it was not for me. I then made a brief foray into psychiatry before settling into paediatrics where I spent the rest of my working life. My main interests were developmental paediatrics and child protection. I took a social work qualification at Dundee University and also trained as a police surgeon. I was chair of my local child protection committee and responsible for multidisciplinary training courses. I also carried out some GP locum work and was a member of the Adoption and Fostering Committee. I retired 10 years ago because of severe mental health problems which continue to the present.
