Professional Profile
I am a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon working across both sites of MTW. I was appointed permanently in November 2014 having worked as Locum Consultant here since March 2014. Since May 2016 I have been the Lead Clinician for Colorectal Surgery, a role which includes representing the department on the Trust Cancer Committee. I have specialist expertise in laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery as well as transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).
I graduated from the University of Birmingham Medical School in 2002 and completed my higher surgical training in the London Deanery in 2013. At the end of my training I was awarded one of just 6 prestigious Ethicon Laparoscopic Colorectal Fellowship available nationally, giving me broad experience in advanced laparoscopic techniques. I undertook this six month Fellowship at the internationally renowned laparoscopic training unit at Colchester University Hospital.
I offer my patients the full range of in-patient and out-patient colorectal and general surgical services including emergency surgery. I am also a keen proponent of medical education and was previously the Specialty Tutor for the Department of General Surgery at MTW and I am also an examiner for the GKT Medical School in London.
