Gerry McCann is to return to full-time work in the New Year, his family spokesman has told Sky News Online.Mr McCann returned to his job part-time as a consultant cardiologist at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital on November 1 - nearly six months after his daughter Madeleine vanished in Portugal. He is currently working three half-days a week as he tries to bring his life back to normality.
Hospital trust bosses have set out a work pattern for him, which is mainly academic work for heart research and studies of MRI scans.
His spokesman Clarence Mitchell told Sky News Online: "He's getting back into it. He's doing three half-days a week at the moment which will increase to full-time in the New Year. He's pleased to be back, and the hospital's pleased to have him back."
Mr Mitchell said he did not know whether Mr McCann had had direct contact with any patients yet, but said he would soon be doing so. (Sky News)
