I am a Consultant in Metabolic Medicine and Clinical Biochemistry at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Trust. I run busy diabetes, lipid and inherited adult metabolic clinics, with continued leadership in laboratory medicine.

I have extensive experience in metabolic medicine, specialising in the treatment and management of diabetes, lipid disorders, electrolyte imbalance and inherited metabolic diseases. I manage patients with various metabolic conditions, including unexplained fatigue, trimethy laminuria and other malodour syndromes and regularly advise patients and other doctors on blood test results and their implications.

I am particularly interested in the management of mineral and nutrient deficiencies, such as hypomagnesaemia, phosphate deficiency and vitamin D deficiency. With my background in metabolic medicine, I have an insight in the management of metabolic effects of medications such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, chemotherapy and immune modulators. I see patients for metabolic optimisation before surgery, pregnancy and the recovery phase.

In addition to my clinical roles, I participate in clinical research. I’ve been a principal investigator and sub-investigator in a number of novel cholesterol medications, with some now in practice and was an early prescriber of injectable cholesterol medications and GLP-1 agonists.

I am a Clinical Director for Laboratory Medicine at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Trust. Alongside my clinical work, I’m an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol, teaching both students and doctors in training. I regularly teach on nationwide GP courses on metabolic disorders and laboratory medicine.
