I have been a substantive Consultant at Epsom Hospital for 22 years. I see patients of all ages and run both a busy inpatient and outpatient service. I see complex medical problems including balance disorders and mobility problems. I have a particular interest in Parkinson's disease and its variants and I belong to the International Movement Disorder Society in USA since 2006. I have a subspecialty interest in dementia and its many faces. I see new patients with memory loss and do a full assessment and work-up. I subsequently make a full treatment plan for the person which is individualised; I have organised and chaired a national meeting in new treatments in dementia for the Royal Society of Medicine and I am doing a similar meeting for the RSM next year.
I also do a full review of balance disorders and falls and offer a comprehensive review and offer a risk stratification and prevention service and assess the multi factorial causes. I look at medical causes of balance disorders and look at correctable causes and treatments.
I have a special interest in syncope and unexplained blackouts. I organise head up tilt table tests (HUTT) for selected patients who need to be risk stratified to high risk, intermediate risk and low risk groups and offer the best treatments for them. I do a full review of Parkinson's patients including the motor fluctuations, freezing and mobility problems associated with it. I look at the non motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease and autonomic involvement. I arrange DAT scans where the diagnosis is less clear. I do a full assessment on patients with memory loss. I do a formal Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale study (MoCA) on patients with suspected dementia and arrange an MRI brain scan where necessary.
I do a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on all the elderly care patients I see. I do a full physical, psychological, social, functional and psychiatric assessment of the complex patients referred to me and offer a full diagnosis and treatment plan which is tailored to the individual patient and their circumstances. I offer how they can thrive and survive in their micro-environment and offer goal setting and work with the multi-professional team.
I am the medical link to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC) and I offer medical advice to patients who need post-operative medical care. I assess them and offer my expertise to enhance early discharge and assess for medical complications and undiagnosed problems.
I offer home visits to frail elderly patients who are not able to travel to see me. They may reside in nursing homes or live at home with a package of care. I offer liaison service to surgical patients who have developed medical complications post-operatively both in an inpatient or outpatient setting. I am an MRCP Clinical Examiner and examine and host on a regular basis and this keeps my general medical sharp and updated.
