Working Life: Dr Dermot McCaffrey, consultant cardiologist, Beacon Hospital

6.40am

I enjoy jogging and recently completed my first Dublin City marathon. I spent 15 years in Australia and conditions there were more conducive to a healthy lifestyle so you have to work harder at it here with our weather conditions.

My first task on arrival at the Beacon Hospital is to review inpatients and see what kind of night they had with a handover from the nightshift nursing team.
