Today, Mr McKenna is married to Ms Joanna Thomas, a Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon whose specialist interest is adolescent sports knee at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. They have four young children. Since moving to Worcestershire, Mr McKenna has exchanged the city life for a rural idyll.

A refreshing approach to teaching and training
