Background Information 
Professional profile:

I was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Hillingdon and Mount Vernon Hospital in 2011, where I treat patients with accident related problems, such as broken bones to the longstanding problems of arthritis and sports injuries from the hand to the shoulder. I undertook undergraduate training at Manchester University. I completed basic surgical training in Kent and Sussex rotation, involving a year in Plastic Surgery.

I completed my Orthopaedic training rotation North West London, which gave me the opportunity to work at St Marys and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I undertook an MSc in Surgical Sciences and worked with Professor Gordon Blunn at the Institute of Biomechanical studies, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, on Osseo-integration for un-cemented joint replacements. I undertook a further fellowship in Upper Limb surgery at the Royal Surrey County Hospital.

I have presented internationally on surgical approaches of the foot and have had multiple national presentations on Orthopaedics. I am currently setting up a Hand Surgery Service at Hillingdon Hospital.

I am actively involved in medical education at both undergraduate and post-graduate level, lecturing in Imperial College MSc students. I am a member of the British Society of Surgery of the Hand, British Orthopaedic Association and The Royal College of Surgeons. I treat a wide range of conditions of the hand and the shoulder, ranging from sports injuries of the rotator cuff tendon and dislocated shoulders to arthritis of the hand, wrist and shoulder.

Personal profile:

As a way to relax, I enjoy spending time with my family which includes our son and our chocolate Labrador. I also enjoy spending time restoring classic cars, probably too much time according to my wife! My current project is a Triumph Spitfire.
