About
me.
I am a
fully qualified and registered doctor, living within the Shoreham ATZ.
Retired from NHS General Practice, I am approved by the UK CAA as an
AME for Professional and Private Pilots, ATCOs and Flight
Engineers.
Since
becoming an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) in 1999 I have performed more
than 6,000 medicals in my own aviation medical practice on behalf of the
UK CAA.
As well as
perfoming aviation medical examinations at Shoreham Airport, I visit
Wycombe Air Park in Buckinghamshire (EGTB) 2 days a week to carry out
aviation medical examinations.
I can also carry out other
types of medicals such as PSV/HGV medicals, Motor Sport medicals, etc. etc.
Unfortunately the UK National Recreational Pilots Licence medical form has
to be signed by one's own NHS GP, not by an AME.
I qualified in 1980 from the Medical School of Nottingham
University. I gained
my PPL (Aeroplane) in 1992 at Shoreham Airport and my PPL (Helicopter) in March 2006. I
still fly regularly and
have over 1000 hours flight time. If you are interested in the aircraft that I
have flown you are welcome to look at the "my
flying" page.
My post
graduate training has been in General Practice and I passed the
membership examination of the Royal College of General Practitioners
in 1984. I worked full time in General Practice until April 2003,
when I retired from the NHS in order to concentrate on my aviation
medicine work.
From a few years up to October 2011 I
worked part time for the CAA Medical Department at Gatwick, initially as a
locum, and later as an employee, where I carried out many hundreds of
initial JAR Class 1 medical examinations. I have maintained my
eligibility to work within the NHS as a GP and, until recently, have still
acted as a very occasional NHS GP locum.
I am registered as a GP with the UK General Medical
Council. You can check this on line here. You will need my GMC registration 2638401.
