Background Information 
Professional profile:
I am a consultant ENT surgeon with a special interest in Rhinology. During my training I was awarded a Wellcome Trust Fellowship to undertake a full time research project which led to my MD in 2002.

As the inaugural international Rhinology Fellow to Professor P-J Wormald I spent twelve months under his tutelage in Adelaide in 2001. I developed specialist skills in anterior skull base surgery, advanced endoscopic sinus surgery (nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis) and minimally invasive lacrimal surgery (surgery for watery eyes).

In October 2003, I was appointed jointly to the County Hospital, Winchester and Southampton University Hospitals. I have an honorary contract with Salisbury Hospital and also provide an ENT service at Andover War Memorial Hospital.

I see and operate on general ENT problems and have developed a specialised Rhinology service in particular frontal sinus disease and image guidance surgery, snoring, catarrh, disorders of the sense of smell and facial pain.

I have an ongoing interest in research including allergic fungal sinusitis, allergy, rhinitis, nasal polyposis and I am the Research Director for the Wessex ENT higher surgical training programme. I tutor on a number of practical Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) courses and Intercollegiate FRCS Exam courses. In 2006, I established the First Advanced Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Course in the UK.
Personal profile:
I am married to Melanie Collins, a fellow ENT surgeon. We enjoy travelling, skiing and entertaining.
