April Meeting

Reflections on 40 years in Clinical Infectious Diseases 

This is a chance to hear some personal reflections from Prof Derek Macallan as his clinical career comes to an end. He first came to St George’s as a trainee in 1988, having qualified in 1983, (hence the 40 years in the title). He specialised in Infectious Diseases so has seen the HIV and COVID pandemics sweep through – among others. His talk will focus on how doctors find their place in relation to their patients, their teams, the systems in which they operate and the risks they carry. Ultimately it is a personal story of how one person found his place in medicine.
