I am now an Independent Consultant Rheumatologist and Physician with 24 years’ experience as an NHS Consultant in Rheumatology.

I qualified in Medicine at the University of Southampton in 1990. As part of my early career I quickly developed an interest in Rheumatology and went on to specialise in Rheumatology and General Internal Medicine which included training in the prestigious Rheumatology units of Guy’s, St Thomas’ and St George’s hospitals.
I qualified with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Warwick in 2010.
