I am a Consultant in interventional spinal pain management, neuromodulation and chronic pain management and anaesthesia.
I hold various positions such as Lead Clinician for Neuromodulation at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Honorary Associate Professor at University College London. I am also a Board member of the Neuromodulation Society UK & Ireland and have been on the Council of the British Pain Society.
My main role is to manage patients with chronic pain, and I have a particular interest in the management of neuropathic pain states, persistent neuropathic pain, complex regional pain syndrome, persistent lower back pain, mechanical axial pain states (neck and back pain), coccydynia, phantom limb pain, and peripheral nerve injury or plexus injury-induced neuropathic pain. I use a multidimensional, multidisciplinary approach for pain management and have a wide range of pharmacological options to manage nociceptive, neuropathic, and mixed nociceptive-neuropathic pain. I offer a range of treatments for all of these and many other chronic pain conditions.
I have been an invited speaker on management of Complex Chronic Pain, Neuromodulation, and Cognitive approaches for pain management both nationally and internationally. I am also a regular lecturer on the MSc course for Musculoskeletal biology at UCL and the MSc in Pain at University College London. Additionally, I am on the Faculty as a Lecturer on Neuromodulation at the Royal College of Anesthetists, FFPMRCA exam course and an examiner for the FFPMRCA exams of the faculty of pain medicine, UK. I was also a Committee Member of the UK Neurotechnology Strategy Group, Innovate UK and Knowledge Transfer Network.
I have published in reputed journals and authored textbook chapters. I maintain an academic research, innovation, clinical trial, and teaching interest at UCL, London and at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. I am dedicated to advancing pain management techniques and promoting advances in smart and novel technologies through my various roles and activities.
