I grew up in London and studied at Imperial College School of Medicine, qualifying in 2011. I completed my medical training at Imperial College School of Medicine and graduated with a distinction in clinical practice in 2011. I completed basic and higher surgical training in Kent, Surrey and Sussex and in 2021 achieved the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, with a specialist interest in trauma and orthopaedics.
I then carried out two years of upper limb and trauma fellowships in Adelaide, Australia and Kings College Hospital, London. I completed the Diploma in Hand Surgery in 2023 and was appointed as a Consultant at University Hospitals Sussex in Brighton in 2023.
My clinical practice encompasses all aspects of hand and wrist surgery and I have a particular interest in hand and wrist trauma, wrist arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) and wide awake local anaesthetic surgery.
I am currently the lead for research, audit, education and training in the hand and wrist department at University Hospitals Sussex.
I am a lecturer at Brighton and Sussex Medical School and have a keen interest in research and training. I am also involved in the design and supervision of clinical based academic research and in the last two years I have published and presented research on a variety of different hand, wrist, elbow and trauma conditions.
