Bugs Doctor With A Passion For Music

This autobiography consists of my early life in Uganda and gives an account of more than 30 years as a consultant microbiologist in the NHS in the UK. I use a 'descriptive diagnosis' tool to rationalise the use of antimicrobial drugs and enable patients to understand the management of their infections. I use the same tool to reveal the root causes of the problems of our NHS. Quality improving and money saving remedies are proposed. I show how the work of a microbiologist is relevant to all people with infections. I also share my passion for creative music.
