Consultant Gastroenterologist and Endoscopist

Specialises in
- Colonoscopy
- Inflammatory bowel disease

- Colorectal cancer screening
I am a Consultant Gastroenterologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals and Spire Leeds Hospital, with expertise in all areas related to the gullet, stomach, bowel and liver.
My particular expertise is in the assessment and endoscopic treatment of non-cancerous and cancerous lesions involving the gullet, stomach and bowel, as well as in the treatment of IBD.
I qualified from the University of Sheffield and then moved to Leeds to pursue my gastroenterology training, during which time I completed an advanced interventional endoscopy fellowship at Leeds Teaching Hospitals.
I was awarded a Doctorate in Medicine (MD) research degree from the University of Leeds for my contribution towards work in differentiating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) from other bowel disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
I am a nationally accredited Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) colonoscopist and I am the Clinical Lead for the BCSP in Leeds. I am also the Clinical Lead for Gastrointestinal Bleed Service delivery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals.
I am passionate about teaching and I am involved in the training of gastroenterologists and surgeons at regional, national and international conferences and workshops.
