Born in London of French parents, I sensibly studied medicine in Scotland. After surgery and general practice I was told in 1979 that there was little to learn from palliative care so that a subsequent career in palliative medicine came as something of a surprise. I am now a Physician in Palliative Medicine at St. Oswald’s Hospice, the Freeman Hospital palliative care team, and the palliative care in intellectual disabilities team in the Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Trust. I have particular interests in clinical decision making, symptom control, establishing new services and creating accessible learning such as open learning and videoconferencing. These days I am concentrating on staying sane. I continue to learn, which means that either there is a great deal more to palliative care, or that I am very slow learner.
