Terry did house jobs at The London Hospital and then went into the Royal Army Medical Corps for three years. He volunteered for parachute training and on leaving the army continued this interest as medical officer to the 10th Territorial Battalion. On becoming a consultant he realised there was a need for specialisation among general surgeons and took up peripheral vascular surgery. He had a passion for mountaineering, climbing to a good standard into his 70s. He completed the London marathon six times and was training for the 2003 event when struck by an aggressive mesothelioma. He leaves a wife, Elizabeth; two daughters; and a granddaughter.
