John McGrath is Consultant Urological Surgeon in Exeter with a major commitment to working in Africa.
He has always had an interest in working in the developing world and this ambition was finally realised with help from Ru MacDonagh during his time, as a trainee, in Taunton. He took 3 months out of his training programme and worked in several hospitals in Northern Tanzania including KCMC and Selian Lutheran Hospital. His wife also travelled with him and taught at the Regional Dermatology Training Centre in KCMC. He has recently visited these centres again and is currently developing a new project in the village of Shighatini in the Northern Pare Mountains of Tanzania.
John is keen to involve other trainees in overseas experience and would like to help develop recognised pathways for trainees to do this within the context of their training programmes.
