Frontlines, Lifelines and Legacy: A Journey from The Grove to Global Impact with Major General Professor Tim Hodgetts
In this inspiring episode of Grovian Voices, we welcome Major General Professor Tim Hodgetts CB CBE OStJ DL, one of the UK’s most senior military medical leaders and a proud Old Grovian who was a day boy in Atkinson House from 1974 to 1981. A recipient of both the Governor’s Scholarship and the Davy Book Leaver's Scholarship, Tim reflects on how his time at The Grove laid the foundation for a distinguished career in medicine, leadership and innovation.
From pinning his career goal above his bedframe as a schoolboy to becoming the UK Surgeon General, Tim has never followed the expected path. A non-conformist in a conformist organisation, he has carved out a reputation as a creator and a disruptor, continually striving to challenge the status quo and drive positive change to improve outcomes - for patients, for systems and for society.
In this episode:
- Tim’s journey to The Grove and memories of school life - favourite teachers, sports and early ambitions
- How the school’s values shaped his outlook and future path
- Highlights from a decorated military and medical career
- Insights into building resilience and navigating Post-Traumatic Growth
- His role as an agent of change within structured institutions
- The founding of citizenAID™, a UK-registered charity empowering the public to respond in life-threatening situations
- A personal look into his poetry collection: Frontlines & Lifelines: Collected Poems from an Army Doctor in Crisis and War
- Life beyond the uniform - hobbies, creativity and what truly brings happiness
- The best piece of advice he’s ever received
Major General Hodgetts offers a powerful, personal and refreshingly unconventional perspective on leadership, healing and the courage to challenge systems in pursuit of better outcomes. His story is a remarkable example of early aspiration evolving into a lifelong legacy of service and innovation.
