Specialises in
After completing undergraduate medical training and graduating with a distinction in BM Primary examination (University of Southampton). I undertook all my training within the local region and was successfully appointed as a Consultant Rheumatologist and Physician at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust in 2017.
Currently, I am the only Consultant Rheumatologist contributing to acute/general medicine at Queen Alexandra Hospital Portsmouth. This gives me a greater understanding of how patients' other conditions can impact upon rheumatological diseases and treatments. This is highly useful in clinical practice. I have a broad clinical experience in Rheumatology and look after patients with a wide variety of conditions. I use ultrasound routinely in my NHS practice.
Although I have a working interest in axial spondyloarhtitis and early inflammatory arthritis, I regularly manage large numbers of patients with; osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, gout, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis and rarer autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases. I have extensive experience in carrying out joint injection procedures.
