    Background Information 
    Professional profile:
    I was appointed consultant surgeon at Southampton University Hospitals NHS trust in 2002.

    My specialist training was at hospitals throughout the North West of England including Manchester Royal Infirmary and Hope Hospital. In 2001 I worked as senior clinical fellow in upper gastrointestinal surgery at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. This major teaching hospital is the tertiary referral centre for oesophageal cancer surgery in Queensland, and a leading centre for laparoscopic surgery.

    I introduced minimally invasive surgery for oesophageal cancer to Southampton, and offer this approach to surgery in appropriate cases for oesophageal and gastric cancer.

    I have been a member of the bariatric (obesity) surgical team in Southampton since it was established in 2004. I offer laparoscopic Gastric banding, Laparoscopic Roux Y gastric bypass and revision surgery following gastric banding or other procedures. Since April 2004 our team has performed over 500 procedures with no mortality.

    I care for patients from Southampton, Winchester, the New Forest, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight. I provide a comprehensive service in the area of upper gastrointestinal disease, and frequently work alongside other specialists in the management of particularly complex problems. As well as managing oesophageal and gastric cancers, and my obesity surgery practice, I also perform a wide variety of other laparoscopic surgery including cholecystectomy, hernia repair, anti-reflux surgery, splenectomy, adrenalectomy, appendicectomy.
    Personal profile:
    I am married with two children. My main interests outside work, other than family, are walking, sailing, golf, skiing and reading.
