My main drive through medical school studies was to perform sports -related surgery. During my training at Kings College London I had good exposure to all aspects of medical care with a specific focus to knee surgery achieving my University of London MBBS in 1992.

My orthopaedic training was also predominantly spent on the South Coast. I became a Specialist Registrar in 1998 after a year of research at Portsmouth NHS Trust. During my training I worked in Southampton, Bournemouth, Poole and Basingstoke as well as Portsmouth.

In 2003 and 2004 I spent a year in Australia, purely designated to sports injuries of the knee. I was a Sports Knee Surgeon at SportsMed SA, a private institution in Adelaide. I gained significant experience in all aspects of knee surgery, in particular, ligament reconstruction, arthroscopy, meniscal repair, chondral resurfacing and unicompartmental and total knee replacement surgery was conducted. During this time I undertook numerous research projects which resulted in many publications and international presentations.

I became a Consultant Knee Surgeon for Portsmouth NHS Trust in 2005. I perform purely knee surgery. My main surgical interests are sports-related injuries of the knee including chondral damage, meniscal damage and ligament reconstruction. I also have a significant interest in joint replacement surgery which includes both total and unicompartmental knee replacement surgery.

I am a keen sportsman but as I have gained years I'm finding that I participate less and less. My main sports include football, boxing and athletics. I have completed numerous half marathons as well as completing the London Marathon in 1998.

My time away form work is spent enjoying family life. I have a young daughter who occupies a significant amount of my time away from work as well as a wife who is an Anaesthetist for Portsmouth NHS Trust. I enjoy travelling and food and wine in the company of my family and friends.
