    Background Information 
    Professional profile:
    I trained in general surgery at Cardiff and in the South West where I developed a specialist interest in gastrointestinal and endocrine surgery. As a senior registrar in Bristol, I continued to develop advance laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal diseases.

    Under the guidance of the late Professor Farndon, I was awarded a PhD for my research in endocrine disease.

    I have received many prestigious grants and have several book chapters on the management of thyroid diseases in major surgical textbooks and surgical journals. After my research I returned to Cardiff and underwent further specialist training in endocrine surgery encompassing complicated thyroid diseases (benign, cancer and re-do surgery), parathyroidectomy and adrenal (laparoscopic) surgery as well as rare islet pancreatic tumours.

    I provide a comprehensive general surgical service with specialist treatment for gallstones including laparoscopic treatment for stones in the bile duct, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, obesity, splenectomy and hernia. Also I am one of a handful of UK specialists who provides surgical care for the full spectrum of endocrine surgical diseases especially in complicated and re-do neck surgery.
    Personal profile:
    I have four boys, one beautiful daughter and a King Charles spaniel. I was forced into early retirement from windsurfing due to the arrival of my children. Luckily, in between the nappy changes, I managed to smuggle my skis to safety and transplanted them to my children. To occupy myself between skiing and dreaming about the slopes, I keep a very close eye on rugby, grand prix and the highs and lows of British tennis.
