Virtual consultations:
I am a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, where I have worked since 2007, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm conditions, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF).
I see patients with a range of heart rhythm concerns and have a particular focus on treating AF using catheter ablation. I have performed over 2,000 of these procedures and carry out a high volume each year, with a strong emphasis on achieving safe, effective outcomes for my patients.
I also specialise in left atrial appendage occlusion, a procedure that can help reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation who are unable to take long-term blood-thinning medication. I lead this service regionally and support other cardiologists across the UK and internationally as they establish this treatment in their own centres.
Alongside my clinical work, I am actively involved in national heart rhythm services. I am a member of the Medical Advisory Board for the AF Association and have served on the Council for the British Heart Rhythm Society, helping to shape the development of arrhythmia care across the UK.
My approach is focused on providing clear, personalised advice and working closely with each patient to decide on the most appropriate treatment, whether that is symptom control, stroke prevention or a more definitive procedure.
