Cardiac CT and its role in diagnosis of cardiac disease

Consultant Cardiologist, Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust

Member Royal College of Physicians (MRCP)

I qualified from Liverpool University 1995 and undertook my general medical training in the North West. My specialised cardiology training was subsequently in Nottingham, Germany and the USA.
Currently I am a locally practising Consultant Cardiologist with advanced qualifications across a wide field of general cardiology.

In the pacing and electrophysiology field my qualifications include the prestigious North American Society for Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) as well the British Pacing and Electrophysiology Group (BPEG).

I am accredited by the British Society of Echocardiography for transthoracic echocardiography and I have obtained additional qualifications from the European Society of Cardiology regarding both transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography.

I have trained in Percutaneous coronary interventioni in Germany (Hertz and diabetes Centrum, Bad Oeynhausen) for a period of one year.

I am level III accredited for Cardiac CT having obtained my qualifications and training in New Jersey, USA.

Being born and brought up in the Birmingham area, I continue to have an affinity for the region and have returned to take up a Consultant Post locally. I retain a very keen interest in travel and enjoy experiencing different cultures and locations whenever possible. I hope to travel to South Africa in the next few months which I am very much looking forward to.

Sport is a passion for me and I regularly play football and also have a great love of cricket. It is a wonderful way to meet people from different professions and all walks of life.
