On the 7th of December 2021 I will have been qualified for a mere fifty years! It seems like only yesterday that I received from Captain Jones, the principal of the Physiotherapy School of the Royal Army Medical Corps, the news of my success, with honours, and ventured out on my professional journey, where the studying had ended and the real learning began.

Throughout my career I have always been hungry for new knowledge and regularly attended seminars, read copiously and, in latter years, given back through teaching. I always felt that the more I studied the less I knew. That being said, I am one of the fortunate few that has never worked a day in his life, only pursued his hobby with a passion. That combined with having two beautiful sons, three gorgeous granddaughters and the perfect wife, I am truly blessed.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all my patients, past and present,
who I have had the privilege to accompany for a short moment on their journey through life and I sincerely hope that I have been able to offer some comfort, relief and, most importantly, knowledge to go forward with. On my part, I have learnt so much from you too.

To quote Rocky Balboa “There is still stuff in the basement” so I’m not going anywhere yet as there is still so much to research, experience and, most importantly, to give.

A Mere Fifty Years!
