I am a very experienced Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon with my NHS practice at the Nottingham University Teaching Hospitals since 2006. I specialise in the treatment of all vascular conditions, with a special interest in keyhole varicose veins and keyhole aneurysm treatments.

I developed and led the complex endovascular aneurysm repair programme in Nottingham until recently.

I have been treating varicose veins since 1997 (28 years' experience) and I treat about 25 to 30 patients every month, both in my NHS and private practice using the latest, minimally invasive and evidence based methods.

I also treat patients with thread veins, claudication, leg pains, leg ulcers, leg swelling, blocked arteries, carotid surgery for stroke prevention and all types of aneurysms.

I am a keen teacher who is actively involved in vascular surgery training in the East Midlands, UK and Africa - and have been since 2006. I am currently the Training Programme Director for Vascular Surgery with Health Education England, East Midlands, and am tasked with the responsibility of training future vascular surgeons. This is a role that keeps me up to date with current teachings and research, enabling me to practice evidence-based medicine.

I also organise yearly vascular training workshops in Nottingham for vascular surgeons.

I can be available for a free pre-consultation phone call on 07733 116 761 to plan your consultation and investigations at your convenience.
