His father, John Robert Watson, was an accountant and his mother, Nellie Evelyn née Sherratt, a secretary. At Wyggeston Grammar School, Leicester, he was captain of the school and won an entrance scholarship to St Mary's. There he won prizes in obstetrics, bacteriology and gynaecology. On qualifying, he did junior posts at St Mary's, becoming senior registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology, before going on to the Samaritan Hospital, Queen Charlotte's, St Mary's, Manchester, and St Woolos, Newport. He did his National Service in the RNVR from 1949 to 1951.
