If music be the food of love, play on.

Patrick is dually accredited in Internal Medicine and General Practice. An Irish graduate, he spent 10 years in the rural fenlands of Cambridgeshire, and then 13 years in Fort William, rural Scotland. He now runs the Ventilator Unit at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in (not-so-rural) London.

His MSc dissertation (Medical Education) was on effective reflective practice. He is Lead Convenor for RSCEd’s Training the Trainers Faculty, and an Honorary Lecturer at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College Faculty of Medicine, London.

He is a fellow of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of both Edinburgh & London, the Royal College of General Practitioners, and this year was awarded FRSCEd (ad hominem) by the President & Council for over a decade of training surgical educators.

Out-with medicine, he plays piano (although not as well as he wished), and loves tennis (albeit a better spectator than player), and loves his 10 nieces and nephews.
