Mike started in Nephrology at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford in 1973 and worked there mainly in dialysis for 2 years.  Returning to Cape Town and GSH/UCT, he obtained the FCP and then joined the Renal Unit for a year as a Senior registrar and thereafter in 1978 was appointed as a consultant in the department. He ran the Transplant Clinic for many years.  In 1999 took over as Head of the Division of Nephrology until retirement in 2008.  Since retirement has maintained the interest in the unit attending the academic meetings regularly and contributing to the registrar teaching program.  In addition does some consulting for a medical insurance company.

Away from medicine, he spends time with his family, including 4 grandchildren, and continues gliding and fly-fishing.
