Make an enquiry

I am a consultant plastic and hand surgeon specialising in surgical oncology (skin cancer, soft tissue, melanoma, and rare tumours) and upper limb surgery to the hand.

My private practice treats patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, dupuytrens contracture, ganglion removal surgery, trigger finger release, joint pain treatment and assessment and referral of patients with hand injuries to hand therapy. Also scar revision and mole cyst wart and skin tag removal.

I have worked within the field of Plastic Surgery in England for over 10 years, both privately and within the NHS.

I am a member of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH), a member of the Faculty of Expert Witnesses, and on the Specialist Register of Plastic Surgeons. I hold the statutory registration as a Plastic Surgeon with the General Medical Council (GMC).

I currently manage an NHS Plastic Surgery department in addition to my private work, supervising the team of Core Surgical and Specialty Trainees working across a range of services.

Previously working in the ambulatory unit at the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust as an Advanced Training Post (ATP) Training Interface Group (TIG) Hand Fellow, I led the provision of hand surgery under Wide Awake Local Anaesthetic No Tourniquet (WALANT) which is super-efficient.
