Background Information 
Professional profile:
I graduated in medicine from Cambridge and London Universities in 1989. I spent three years working in Oxford and gained an MD in infertility. Most of my clinical training was in South East Scotland. I became a consultant in 2001.

My main interests are surgery for incontinence and prolapse. I perform urodynamic investigations and carry out a large number of tension-free vaginal tape operations (TVT) for patients with stress incontinence. I perform vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair operations for women with prolapse. I do prolift procedures for women with recurrent vaginal prolapse to reinforce the repair using a mesh.

In women with menstrual dysfunction, I perform a wide range of procedures including endometrial ablation, mirena coil, vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy as well as laparoscopic hysterectomy.

I am an accredited colposcopist.
Personal profile:
Outside work I enjoy spending time with my family. I have three daughters and a baby boy. We enjoy foreign travel, sailing and going out to the cinema and theatre.
