After his MRCOG he worked as subchief at Baragwanath Hospital, but the indignities and inequality of life in South Africa prompted him to return to London. He was then appointed by the Department of Overseas Development as a consultant at Lusaka Hospital, Zambia. His particular interest was in vesicovaginal fistulae. He wrote many articles in international journals and he was a co-author of the book Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the Tropics and Developing Countries. He returned to Britain in 1973 and spent happy years at Barnet General Hospital. He leaves a wife, Cynthia; four children; and five grandchildren.
