I practice as a Clinical Radiologist using all imaging modalities in the investigation of musculoskeletal disorders. The use of MRI and Ultrasound as specialist diagnostic tools in all manners of Rheumatologic and Orthopaedic disorders with soft tissue sarcoma imaging and intervention are paramount in my practise. I perform spine imaging and Minimally invasive augmentation such as Vertebroplasty and Radiofrequency Kyphoplasty at Spire Hospital Leicester, a service I set up in the NHS in Leicester in 2006. All patients are pre-assessed with one-to-one Consultations and followed up with standardised patient outcome measures.

Having been awarded a competitive Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellowship at the University of Alberta in Canada, I returned to be appointed a Consultant in Musculoskeletal  & Trauma Radiology at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2005. The skills learnt in Canada of Vertebroplasty and LASER ablation of Osteoid osteomas enabled me to set up these services in the NHS and at Spire Leicester Hospital. Soft tissue and bone tumour Diagnostic imaging and biopsy was part of my training whilst at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London. I was awarded a Masters in Sports & Exercise Medicine from the University of Nottingham in 2008 and  have since been invited to teach on the course as a visiting Lecturer. Due to my research and teaching interests I have been awarded an Honorary Lectureship by the University of Leicester.

I provide a highly specialised Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Service using X-ray, MRI and Ultrasound in Spine disorders, Fractures, Cancer imaging, Hip, Knee, Shoulder and Groin disorders. I work closely with the Orthopaedic and Groin Specialist surgeons to provide an image guided injection service using Ultrasound and X-ray for both diagnosis and transient therapy.

My family and the guitar are my hobbies in that order; with two young children who succeed in making whatever spare time I have, both exhausting and thoroughly enjoyable and a long-suffering wife who makes all the above possible, she endures my aspirations at being a Rock God (probably with selective hearing!).
