"I enjoy the friendly atmosphere at Spire Murrayfield Wirral and value the professionalism of the staff."
Specialises in
I am a consultant gynaecologist seeing patients at Spire Murrayfield Wirral and Spire Abergele Clinic, offering care across a wide range of women’s health concerns. My approach is holistic and supportive, taking time to understand each woman’s circumstances and tailor treatment accordingly.
I have a particular interest in fertility, recurrent miscarriage and menopause care. I support individuals and couples through investigation and management of recurrent miscarriage and provide clear, compassionate guidance on fertility options, including access to assisted conception services where appropriate. I also see women with menopausal symptoms, helping them manage physical and emotional changes with evidence‑based, personalised care.
Alongside reproductive medicine, I treat a broad range of gynaecological conditions and regularly perform minimally invasive surgery for issues such as fibroids, heavy or irregular periods and other common gynaecological problems. At Spire, I am able to offer specialist investigations including transvaginal ultrasound, allowing assessment and reassurance to happen promptly and in one setting.
In addition to my private practice, I am a consultant at Wirral University Teaching Hospitals where I set up the fertility service and continue to lead women’s services. I am also closely involved in training and education within obstetrics and gynaecology across the North West, ensuring high standards of care for future generations of specialists.
I live in Hoylake near the coast and enjoy long walks with my dogs and keeping active in my spare time.
