About this listen
Professor Garry Courtney, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Clinical Director at St. Luke’s Hospital, Kilkenny, is National Clinical Lead in the Acute Medicine Programme, Regional Programme Director for BST/HST at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, and Treasurer of the Irish Society of Gastroenterology.
In this episode, Garry explains his close connections with the Tyrone Gaelic Football team, why he came to be a medical student at Trinity College in Dublin, and how he overcame his natural shyness while working behind the bar at Mother Redcap in Camden Town (and acquired a lifelong - scientific - interest in alcohol!), and he pays tribute to mentors in Dublin and London.
Prof Courtney also reflects on the successes of the Acute Medicine Programme, as well the difficulties facing healthcare in Ireland and the UK, and he describes how remarkably warm relations at St Luke’s Hospital, between hospital doctors, managers and general practitioners, help to ensure political support for developments in facilities and services at the hospital.
