Eoin graduated from UCL in 2014 and after completing foundation training in London, one particularly challenging night shift made him realise the impact that he could have on patients by pursuing a career in anaesthetics and critical care. Following this new found ambition, he began ACCS anaesthetics training in Birmingham before starting his registrar training in Thames Valley in 2021. After completing a year as Chief Registrar at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, he is now in his ST6 year at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
