David Cahill is happily retired from academic and clinical medicine. He graduated from University College Cork in Ireland a long time ago. Following house jobs, he worked in O&G in Ireland in almost all the cities in the country, both North and South. In that time, he found time to undertake clinical research and undergraduate teaching, and found his enjoyment in those areas developing. In an effort to diversify his training, he came to Bristol in 1990 to undertake research and after nearly 5 years, he was awarded an MD on studies involving fertility in endometriosis. He then became a Senior Lecturer and was promoted to a personal chair in Reproductive Medicine and Medical Education in 2012. His most recent research spans those areas looking at assessments and technology use in education and innovative treatments in sperm disorders in infertile men. Since he retired, he has published two books, the first in 2019 a textbook of Reproductive Medicine, Practical Patient Management in Reproductive Medicine: Science, Evidence, and Experience Underlying Best Clinical Practice. The second in 2022 was a history of Bristol Medical School, A History of Bristol Medical School: Personal and Collected Experiences of Students and Staff. He has also continued to teach at postgraduate level, in Hargeisa, Somaliland, in Tirana, Albania and on the MedAll web platform.
