My main ongoing research interests are oesophagogastric cancer, and surgery for gastro-oesophageal reflux. During my training I completed a two-year MD at the Northern Oesophagogastric Unit, Newcastle, on oesophageal cancer. I have active interests in undergraduate teaching and surgical training.

I have worked as a consultant surgeon at Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh since 2008 specialising in upper gastrointestinal and general surgery. Before my consultant appointment I completed higher surgical training in the North East of England from 2002-2007 and a fellowship in Upper GI Surgery at Royal Adelaide Hospital, Australia 2007-2008. My main clinical interests include oesophageal and gastric cancer, benign laparoscopic upper GI surgery, general surgery, and laparoscopic hernia repair. I also have an interest in weight loss surgery working with the Edinburgh Bariatric Surgery team. I am a consultant on the busy emergency rota at the Royal Infirmary for general and upper GI surgery.
I live in Edinburgh with my wife and three young children. Having previously represented Scotland & Great Britain at water polo I still enjoy swimming regularly to keep fit.
