“I’m originally from Newcastle, Co Down. I completed my training in hospitals in Belfast and Amsterdam, and took up a consultant post in Belfast. I was then appointed as director of radiation oncology at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia’s largest cancer centre. All my family — my wife Suzie, a GP, and children Alice, Patrick and James — moved there in 2018.
