Background Information

Professional profile:

Following qualificiation at UWCM and training in general medicine, I joined the Welsh radiology training scheme. I was appointed as consultant with a special interest in breast imaging to the East (now Royal) Glamorgan Hospital in 1994. Since then I have also held an honorary contract with Velindre where I have been Quality Assurance radiologist responsible for the quality of the Welsh breast screening programme (BTW) for the last seven years.
I also have a particular interest in gynaecological imaging as well as more general radiology, especially small part ultrasound and CT.
