fantastic times in the RAF but we just thought it was about time to put down roots. Spire Parkway is a hospital on the up with a lot of new developments including a new theatre. I see this not only as exciting and a great opportunity but one which also keeps me in a high-pressure medical position. “Admittedly there are a lot of
differences compared to a field hospital in a war zone but there are also many new challenges that I am looking forward to tackling. “I have been very impressed with
the set up and the staff at the hospital and I am looking forward to putting my own stamp on the way things are carried out there. The RAF teaches you that discipline is very important, but also that the way you deal with your fellow workers goes a long way to achieving the targets you set yourself.”
