Background Information 
Professional profile:
After graduating from University of Edinburgh Medical School I undertook surgical training in Edinburgh, then Orthopaedic training in Oxford and Edinburgh. I completed training with Specialist Fellowships in Brisbane, Australia and Edinburgh, then was appointed as a Consultant in the Arthroplasty Service in Edinburgh. My practice mainly involves hip and knee joint replacement/resurfacing and revision joint replacement surgery. Since becoming a consultant I have developed an interest in Young Adult Hip Disorders, many of whom do not need joint replacement and have a condition called Femoro-Acetabular (Hip) Impingement (FAI). I am now able to offer Open and Arthroscopic Hip Surgery for the management of this problem.
Personal profile:
Originally from Northern Ireland, I live in Edinburgh with my wife and three daughters. My interests include shooting, rugby and cycling to keep fit.
