BMedSci (Hons), MBChB, FRCS, PhD


Specialises in

  • Acid reflux
  • Hiatus hernia
  • Gallbladder surgery
  • Hernia surgery
  • Rapid assessment and expert treatment for self-pay and insured patients

I am a Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal and General Surgeon at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

I welcome both self-pay and insured patients and aim to provide prompt access to consultation, investigation and treatment. I am fee-assured with AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality and WPA, providing reassurance that my consultation and treatment fees are recognised by these insurers.

My practice specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of acid reflux (GORD), hiatus hernias, gallstones and abdominal wall hernias, with a particular focus on minimally invasive (keyhole and robotic) surgery. I also investigate and treat swallowing disorders and diseases of the oesophagus and stomach, including cancers.

My aim is to provide expert care in a friendly, professional environment where patients feel listened to, informed and supported throughout their treatment. I believe in clear communication and shared decision-making, and I will always discuss all appropriate treatment options, recommending surgery only when I believe it is likely to provide meaningful benefit.

My clinical interests include acid reflux (GORD), hiatus hernia surgery, keyhole gallbladder surgery, inguinal, femoral, umbilical and incisional hernia repair, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, swallowing disorders (dysphagia), and the treatment of oesophageal and stomach cancers.

I completed my medical training in Birmingham before undertaking higher surgical training in both Birmingham and Leeds, followed by specialist training in Upper Gastrointestinal surgery. I am an Honorary Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham and have authored more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications, with research focused on improving outcomes for patients with upper gastrointestinal disease.

Alongside my clinical practice, I hold several national leadership roles. I am a Council Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, serve on the Executive Committee of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ASGBI), and contribute to national surgical education. My work has been recognised through my appointment as President’s Lecturer in Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery and by receiving the John Farndon Prize from the British Journal of Surgery for outstanding surgical research.
