He is an adjunct professor of Anaesthesia at Duke University, North Carolina, USA and an honorary professor at University College London.

He lives in the New Forest with his wife, Denny – anaesthetist, intensivist and perioperative physician – and with three young children and a chocolate working cocker spaniel.

If he wasn’t working in anaesthesia, Mike would be heading for the mountains (again).
