I completed my Respiratory training in Edinburgh and have a broad range of clinical interests including General Chest Medicine, Lung Cancer and Interventional Pulmonology.
My special interests area all aspects of Lung Cancer management (from screening, through diagnostic pathways and treatments) but I have expertise in managing a wide range of Respiratory conditions including asthma, COPD and chronic cough.
I have played a lead role in the development of endobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound techniques in diagnosis and staging of Lung Cancer. I have established and now run an international teaching centre of these techniques in Edinburgh. I am considered an internationally renowned expert in endobronchial ultrasound procedures.
