Appointed as a Consultant in 2012. I am an enthusiastic and hardworking team member of the internationally renowned Trauma Unit at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

I am fellowship trained in trauma and sub-specialty shoulder reconstruction plus an excellent training in hand, wrist and elbow surgery. I am passionate about quality and care improvements for patients.

I completed my surgical training in Trauma and Orthopaedics in the West of Scotland. I have enjoyed working with Orthopaedic teams in Glasgow, Ayrshire, London and Edinburgh. I also trained with plastic surgeons at the Royal London; St Barts Hospitals and spent time working in the Gold Coast Hospitals in Australia (treating shark bites amongst other, more common, traumas). I take part in active in research and I was the winner of a Tenovus funding grant for molecular research into frozen shoulders.

Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

Honorary Clinical Tutor at University of Edinburgh.

I live in North Berwick, East Lothian and am therefore compelled by local by-laws to play golf. This has unfortunately not lead to any improvement in my game. I perform more successfully as a Tenor with Opera East Lothian and can pull off an excellent rendition of most Disney ballads at the request of my two young daughters. Despite being more of a rugby fan I have enjoyed many trips as Lead Doctor with the Scottish Football Association medical team. I come from a long line of West Coast doctors and farmers but am grateful I can now spend my summer weekends enjoying the East Lothian beaches rather than getting sheep ready for a show.
