Kenneth Dickinson did his national service in the Royal Army Medical Corps in Malaya, attached to the SAS. He went on to become a singlehanded practitioner in Handsworth, Birmingham, a challenging role in a difficult inner city area. In 1970 he became medical officer at Birmingham University, where he developed and expanded the student health services. He retired from practice aged 60 to pursue his hobbies, such as trekking and sailing. While leading a party of walkers in Canada some six years ago he dissected his arch of aorta. Happily this was repaired successfully. He leaves his first wife, Patricia; three children; two grandchildren; and his second wife, Mary.
