I am a Consultant Rheumatologist at Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood, Essex, offering private rheumatology care for adults and children.

I conduct an educational and patient responsive service through my clinics at Spire Hartswood Hospital.

I have been a consultant in rheumatology since 1994 after finishing my training in Oxford and the East Anglian region. I was elected Hon Secretary for the British Society for Rheumatology after working as a Council member and a member of the Clinical Affairs committee and External Relations Committee from 2000-2008. I have been a Visiting and Host Examiner for the MRCP Royal College of Physicians of London for the last 10 years and also a member of the Question Setting group for the Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE). I am also an examiner for the Professional and Linguistics Assessment Board (PLAB) conducted by the GMC and the undergraduate examination at Bart's and The London School of Medicine.
