Professor Grieve was brought up in Motherwell, and graduated in Medicine from Aberdeen University in 1977. After initial training in Pathology in Aberdeen, he subsequently spent some time in the Royal Army Medical Corps, being commissioned as a Captain and leaving 7 years later as a Major. Whilst in the Army, he spent 2 years in Washington DC and about 4 years in London, returning to Aberdeen in 1989 as the Senior Lecturer in Forensic Medicine, at the University of Aberdeen. He retired from routine full-time practice as Emeritus Professor in Forensic Medicine of the University of Aberdeen, but continues to assist, part-time, in the provision of the Forensic Pathology Service to the North of Scotland. In that role he was instructed by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service to perform post-mortem investigations into around 550 deaths per annum, to include sudden unexpected natural events, suicides, homicides and accidents, as well as deaths possibly resulting from medical mishap. He has regularly given evidence in the criminal courts and at Fatal Accident Inquiries, and fulfilled considerable teaching commitments to undergraduate Medical and Law students as well as postgraduate groups and the Police. In 1997, like colleagues from around UK, he participated in the UN investigation of crimes against humanity in the former Yugoslavia.
He became a Member of the Royal College of Pathologists in 1984 and was elevated to Fellowship in 1996. He is a Fellow of the Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians of London.
