I qualified in 1982.  I trained in Gastroenterology in Birmingham and Sheffield.  I have been working as a consultant in General Medicine and Gastroenterology since 1999.

I manage patients with all gastrointestinal and liver problems including Dyspepsia, reflux diseases, mal-absorption, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, alcohol related liver disease and abnormal liver function.
I have special interest in bowel diseases and chronic diarrhoea.

I am the only accredited consultant in Barnsley to undertake Bowel Cancer Screening.  I also provide a full therapeutic upper and lower endoscopy services including removal of large polyps and endoscopic mucosal resection.

I am the Yorkshire and Humber representative on the Clinical Service and Standards Committee of the British Society of Gastroentrology.
I have a great passion for medical education.  I did a Masters Degree at Sheffield University that helped me to develop professionalism in the field.  I am an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer and a faculty on the regional colonoscopy-training courses.  I am also an assistant professor with St. Matthews University.  I was until recently the Royal College of physician tutor.

I believe in close collaboration with colleagues in general practice to ensure effective interface between primary and secondary care.  The development of joint protocols, Care-Pathways, educational programmes and audit are embedded into my practice.
