I am a Consultant in Intensive Care and Anaesthesia working at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where I lead the Critical Care research.
I learned to fly at Prestwick Flight Centre in a Cessna 152. I still very much enjoy taking to the skies in a Piper Cherokee Archer, although we are in the process of transitioning to an Arrow. I have my night rating and am working towards acquiring the IR(R). I was once lucky enough to have a trial flying a Jet Provost, which is certainly the fastest aircraft I have ever piloted!
In 2024 I completed a course in Aviation Medicine at King’s College London and subsequent training required by the CAA and am now an examiner for Class II and cabin crew medicals. I am aiming to add Class I privileges later this year.
DIGNITY
I strongly respect your right to dignity during medical examination.
Intimate examination (i.e. breast, testicular and rectal examination) is not part of aircrew medicals. A chaperone is always present for female medicals and can be arranged for male medicals – just ask! If you wish, you can download self-examination leaflets below.
