Professor David McBride was a registrar in ENT and a trainee GP before becoming a trainee occupational physician with British Coal in Stoke-on-Trent. His training course then led to a job offer as Clinical Lecturer at the University of Birmingham (Edgbaston) and eventually to Otago University, where he has been since 1995. His part time job has been with the Army Reserves, with four operational tours of duty, and he is passionate about improving the health of Veterans. His hobby is anything with wheels on that is broken, or capable of being broken, and being at sea.
In this episode, we discuss his movements from ENT and GP into occupational medicine, the routines, highlights and challenges of occupational health, its crossover with public health, what is involved in its training, and a touch on his work in military medicine and the nuances of PTSD.
