Dr Shane McKee MD FRCP Edin
Professional
I’m a Medical Doctor specialising in Genetic and Genomic Medicine. I’m Deputy Chief Clinical Information Officer for our Trust, and part of a great team working to implement the encompass project across Northern Ireland - a region-wide Electronic Health Record that will transform the delivery of care.
- ORCID record (publications, grants etc)
Personal
Living in Northern Ireland, walking a beagle, riding a bike.
I have a longstanding connection with the wonderful Nazareth EMMS Hospital in northern Israel, and am a veteran of several Nazareth Challenge bike rides to raise money for the Nazareth Trust.

Talks
- Watch my TEDxCookstown talk “Tanks, Bikes and Genes” (November 2020 - a few things I might change nowadays about this talk, but enjoy.)
- The Northern Ireland Electronic Care Record - a very old talk about a project I remain deeply committed to, and I think most of the principles of joining up health information still hold.
Languages
- I’m learning Arabic - it’s taking a while, but it is a beautiful language and I’m enjoying finding out more.
- I have a smattering of French and German, and am working on-and-off on Hebrew.
- I strongly recommend LingQ.com as a solid method to gain skills in a language by listening, rather than by learning grammar, and of course you can consolidate this by listening to your chosen language material on YouTube, podcasts etc. I’m afraid Duolingo does not work for me.
