regular trips to Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland and northern Canada, whilst his Caribbean-born wife demands visits to other, hotter, climes.Working as a consultant anaesthetist in Bristol he has specialised in head and neck anaesthesia, is a keen medical educator, and has been involved in the development of appraisal processes and their associated information systems, Dr Sarah R.
