RG graduated in medicine in 1976.  After training in Manchester and London (Barts) he moved to Stevenage in 1988 to establish a new renal service.  RG was Clinical Director of Renal Services based at Lister covering the counties of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire for 20 years (88 to 08) and continues as a full-time clinical nephrologist in the NHS.

The Lister renal unit has a long history of innovation in dialysis and maintains a creditable output of original research and service development.  Research interests include home haemodialysis, non-dialytic conservative management and end-of-life issues.  He has a busy international schedule of lectures and attendances at advisory boards.
