I passed my Senior Cambridge Examinations in 1957 and then joined Royal Technical College, Nairobi where I did my 'A' levels. I then came to UK to study medicine and graduated from Manchester in 1966. I decided to specialise in Radiology. I obtained my Diploma in Medical Radio diagnosis in 1973. I was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists, UK in 1976. I was then appointed Consultant Radiologist to Derby Group of Hospitals.
