MacSorley came from a medical family in Belfast.

He registered in Belfast in 1978 and has worked as a GP, based in Lurgan since 1992. He also has a role as a BASICS doctor.

In the 2002 he devised a programme of self-defence classes for GPs.

MacSorley was one of the team that pioneered the concept of a mobile response at motorcycle racing events in the mid 1980s. He worked as part of the Motorcycle Union of Ireland's medical team. In September 2014, MacSorley retired from being a “travelling doctor” at motorcycle competitions. He had previously had a well-established partnership with his colleague Dr John Hinds. Hinds died the following year while providing medical cover at a race.

MacSorley was Northern Ireland Doctor of the Year in 1999. He received a MBE in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to Healthcare in Northern Ireland.
