After graduating from Cambridge University and St Thomas' Hospital Medical School, he operated throughout the Blitz and in the Tunisian Campaign, where he received the Military Cross.

After graduating from Cambridge University and St Thomas' Hospital Medical School, he operated throughout the Blitz and in the Tunisian Campaign, where he received the Military Cross. After the Second World War, he became the youngest chief of surgery at St. Mary's Hospital, London and he also lead the vascular surgery program at St Mary's Hospital, London where he carried out one of the world's first carotid endarterectomies and a year later performed the UK's first deceased donor human-to-human kidney transplant. His contributions paved the way for St Mary's in becoming a pioneering centre in vascular surgery and transplant surgery. In 1960, he moved to the United States and continued developing techniques in vascular surgery including vein by-pass grafting.
