Life is quieter now .I often walk in one of the largest and
most beautiful parks in England, Roundhay Park, at the end
of my road.
In terms of Medicine and specifically, the specialty of
Rehabilitation Medicine, I am a trustee of Global
Rehabilitation, a very small charity that links with colleagues
whom we have taught, in Madagascar. We are expecting to
do more on- line teaching soon and visit the country in
2023.However, my clinical experience ended in 2007 so I will
not go.
I remain a trustee of the William Merritt Disabled Living
Centre in Leeds which gives professional advice to disabled
and older people and those who care for them, mainly on
equipment, which can be viewed, and on driving with a
disability.
Within the University dept., I still supervise a very small
number of clinical students doing an Intercalated Degree in
International Health .This is highly enjoyable.
I was president and am now a member of the Leeds Medico-
Chirurgical Society .These societies served as a meeting point
for GPs and consultants before the NHS .Few survive.
I enjoy ceramic and art exhibitions, and the cinema but am
not as sociable as before the pandemic.
