Trevor spent his early childhood, during the Second World War, in rural Wales.
In 1967, then a Paediatrician working at Great Ormond St Children’s Hospital, he was seconded for two years to the University of East Africa, in Kampala, at the time of the Civil War.  This was a hugely formative experience for him and his young family. Other tours to the Tropics followed.

In 1972 he moved his home to the North West, so that his five children could grow up - and he could work - in unspoilt countryside.  Although a full time NHS Consultant his links to Central Government continued. He still spent time overseas, writing an advisory paper on the Turks and Caicos Islands, teaching in Saudi Arabia and working in Tehran throughout the early months of the Iranian Revolution. Now, retired and living in the low fells, he has time to write about the people who live around him, and to reflect on the things in his life that he finds moving or important.

Most recently his work has appeared in West Coast, North Hill (Flax007)
