CT colon. I started the service in Leicester in 2000 and since 2007 have used gastrografin for cleansing and tagging residues in the colon to allow for better detection of tumour and polyps of the colon.

My practice is centred around the early diagnosis of the causes of abdominal pain, liver disease, gastrointestinal disease as well as gynaecological disease, bleeding or masses. I believe that the early and accurate diagnosis of any disease or tumour is key to helping achieve the best outcome for patients.

I commenced my radiology training in 1987 and worked at St Mary’s Paddington and at the Western Infirmary Glasgow and have been based in Leicester as a consultant radiologist since 2000.

I have a particular interest in modernising imaging techniques such as CT of the colon, most recently utilising faecal tagging to improve the quality of the radiology service that I offer. I work very closely with  a great team of Surgeons, Oncologists , Gynaecologists and Gastroenterologists and I am directly involved in the management and after care of patients.

I am the Consultant Radiologist for the One Stop Abdominal Pain Clinic at Spire Leicester Hospital.

I have been married for more than 20 years and have two daughters; the eldest is a teacher and my younger daughter works in the pharmaceutical sciences industry.

To relax, I love cycling as it clears my mind of daily stress and has the added benefit of keeping me fit!
