I trained in Neurology at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square; The Royal Free Hospital; Atkinson Morleys Hospital; and at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York.

In January 2004 I was appointed as Consultant Neurologist at Epsom and St Helier NHS trust (with clinical responsibilities at both sites) and at the Atkinson Morleys Neuroscience Centre, St George’s Hospital. I am the Honorary Consultant Neurologist for the Royal Marsden Hospital.

My PhD, undertaken at UCL, investigated molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, and also explored novel therapeutic strategies in movement disorders. I am widely published in both the scientific and clinical literature.

My clinical training has provided me with experience in a broad range of neurological subspecialties. During my time at Queen Square I worked with the movement disorder group, epilepsy group, peripheral nerve and muscle group, and neuro-critical care team. At the Mount Sinai Hospital New York I gained further experience in stroke neurology.
