Shortly after our 2015 reunion, Charles, retired one year and very happily so, went into hospital for a non-emergency stent and didn’t come out. Not good. As he can’t write his yearbook entry this time, I’ll just mention that he was a GP in Newcastle, but retained a keen interest in diabetes and nephrology, doing…

Still practicing after all these years. I moved to Canada after Surgical training in the UK. Spent 2 years in Australia as a Surgical Fellow then ended up in General Surgical Practice just outside Winnipeg in Manitoba. I am now partially retired, given up on-call duties and trying to manage a multidisciplinary clinic I started…

When I tell friends about our 50 year reunion, I have to metaphorically pinch myself. How can it be 50 years ago that we qualified? I did GP training in Southampton and had 10 years as a principal in Skelton in Cleveland. I then retrained in Newcastle as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and moved…

Good to hear everyone’s stories and hard to believe 50 years has passed. For myself, I retired two years ago, after 40 years in general practice (and a few years in general medicine before that). It’s been an enjoyable and fulfilling career. Medicine still fascinates me and I’ve been fortunate to have been able to…

I enthusiastically drifted into ophthalmology following house jobs in Newcastle and spent a few years learning the trade there under excellent supervision. I then moved to Leeds General Hospital Infirmary and had to learn many new surgical skills working with some then notable teachers. Finally managed to be appointed consultant in Cumberland Infirmary Carlisle and…

I have spent the last 50 years working, bringing up a child, breeding puppies, kittens and ponies, having a ball. Initially went into psychiatry, remustered to General Practice, did a smattering of Genetics, A&E and Forensic Medical Examiner, still working just in GP land 16 hours a week.

First a shout out to Anne, Rell, and Dick for putting together this 50th it’s a lot of work! Can’t believe it’s been that long. It’s amazing how far we’ve come looking at the original pictures how fresh face we were. We were totally deer in the headlights in the beginning and I remember one…

My professional life was pretty uneventful… after vocational training locally, I spent 32 years in the same practice in Wakefield! I was the lead on women’s health & contraception, was Clinical Assistant in GU Medicine for several years and also did sessions at the local women’s prison.   My petite and pretty daughter is a…

Still amazed at my great good fortune to have been married to Jane for fifty years. Two great children and three adorable grandchildren. Moving on to the less important details. For the first 2+ years at medical school I was sure I was on the wrong course. Then Jack Stevens arrived, I heard his inaugural…

We are glad to be able to attend another reunion. Really looking forward to seeing familiar faces. Barbara & I married in 1977 and have 2 sons. Our elder son, Jason is a professor of Mathematics at Balliol college in Oxford. The younger son, Gavin is a professor of Nuclear Astrophysics at Surrey University. No…
