I am a graduate of the University of Edinburgh and subsequently trained in general medicine to Registrar level in the UK and New Zealand before starting as a Specialist Registrar in oncology at Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology on the Wirral in 1994. After a period of post-FRCR training at Christie Hospital, Manchester I was appointed as Consultant Clinical Oncologist at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton in 2000 with visiting sessions at Kidderminster Hospital specialising in breast and colorectal cancers.

In addition to that I have a wealth of experience treating urological and upper gastro-intestinal cancers and has had a significant contribution to research within his sub-speciality interests. In November 2014 I joined the team of consultant oncologists at the new Worcestershire Oncology Centre and will be making a significant contribution to development of services there as well as continuing have sessions at Kidderminster Treatment Centre. In addition I have recently been appointed lead in colo-rectal cancer for the West Midlands section of the new National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network.

I am also able to continue to see private patients in the Millbrook Suite at the Kidderminster Treatment Centre as well as providing this service at Spire Southbank Hospital.
