A rather flattering photo, I’m afraid. I must have destroyed the others.I managed to survive two years as a teacher but I knew it wasn’t for me. I used my educational qualifications to lever my way into the NHS and, thanks to many re-organisations – the NHS is always being reorganised – ended being in charge of hospitals.
In my last working years, I became an expert in illicit drugs and a special adviser to governments and voluntary organisations on running drug services. I am not sure how this happened. Still, I felt very privileged.
I hope I did some good.
