Mike qualified as a doctor in 1978 from Manchester University and became a consultant chemical pathologist in 1985 in north London. He became clinical director of diagnostic and clinical support services in 1988, gaining his MBA in 1990. In 1994 he moved to the Homerton hospital as clinical director for surgery and clinical support services and became medical director of The Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex in 1996. He left the NHS in 2002 to become an independent medical leadership consultant. In addition to his NHS Medical Director experience, Mike was Group Medical Director for BMI Healthcare, the largest provider of independent hospital care in the UK. Here Mike developed and improved consultant performance management processes, increased the profile of medical leadership and worked to improve quality standards. Mike trained and introduced a network of disclosure coaches at BMI, the first in the UK.

As a medical leadership consultant Mike specialised in working with doctors to improve their performance, focussing on individual and team coaching, behavioural coaching, diagnosis and interventions in dysfunctional teams, leadership development and working with Trusts to identify problems with capability and conduct. He has extensive experience in undertaking case investigations and helping Trusts prepare for conduct or capability hearings of consultants in the NHS and in investigating performance concerns in the independent health sector. He trained case investigators and case managers to run their own investigations.

Mike ran workshops for the MDU and others until the end of 2022 on communication skills, ethics, leadership, preparing for consultant roles in the NHS and in setting up in private practise. He continues to teach quality assessment skills for the NHS’s National Screening Programme. His publications include articles on moral leadership in medicine, coaching, dealing with difficult doctors, senior medical career development, image management, the need for medical leadership skills, team working and doctor-employer relations, for the Health Service Journal, the BMJ group and Independent Practitioner Today.

Mike retired from active practice in April 2023.
