He studied medicine at Charing Cross Hospital Medical School, University of London, qualifying MB BS in 1985.[4] He subsequently obtained postgraduate degrees including an LLM in Medical Law and Ethics from De Montfort University (2011), an MA in Spirituality, Theology and Health from Durham University (2015), and a PhD in Theology from Durham University (2023).[5]

He later joined Durham University, where he is a Fellow of St John’s College and of the Institute for Medical Humanities.[8] He has written articles for medical journals including InnovAiT, Pulse, and the BMJ.[9][10][11]

He has also been a Guest Lecturer at Bishop Grosseteste University and a Tutor at the Lincoln School of Theology, where his teaching has focused on the relationship between medicine, ethics and faith.[15]

He was appointed a Commander Brother of the Order of St John (CStJ) in 2004, having previously been invested as Serving Brother (1991) and Officer Brother (1998), and has received multiple Service Medal bars for long service.[16][17][18]
