Seeking new challenges, he spent the next two years in Western Australia working as a flying doctor, mainly in Aboriginal communities.
On returning to the UK, he gained a commission in the Royal Navy as a surgeon commander which included various postings in Europe, and deployments to Afghanistan, Malawi and the Gambia.
He became the last serving ship’s doctor on HMS Ark Royal aircraft carrier before the ship was decommissioned in 2011, followed by several years as a medical repatriation doctor visiting 50+ countries.
