Push, as he is known, was born in India and emigrated to the UK in 1962. He grew up and was educated in Walsall and Wolverhampton, and subsequently studied Medicine in the University of Birmingham, qualifying in 1983.

Following House jobs, his training initially in General Medicine and then in Anaesthesia was largely based in South Wales – the old Llanelli General Hospital, and the sets of hospitals in Swansea and Cardiff. Interspersed in this period were two training periods in Birmingham and Cambridge.

On completion of his training, Push was appointed as a Consultant in Intensive Care and Neuroanaesthesia in Morriston Hospital, Swansea in 1994. From 2005-2011, Push undertook several clinical management roles, and from 2011 to 2018, became Deputy Medical Director in Swansea. 

In 2018 Push was appointed as Medical Director in the newly formed Health Education and Improvement Wales where he remained until May 2024 when he took on this current role as Deputy Chief Medical Officer – Health Services in Welsh Government.
