MBBS, BSc (Hons), FRCS (SN)
I was appointed as a consultant spinal neurosurgeon at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in 2002. I was the lead spinal surgeon at the hospital. In 2007 I moved my NHS practise to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. I am currently the lead spinal surgeon at NHNN. The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery is a secondary and tertiary referral unit dealing with complex spinal cases.
My particular area of interest are degenerative disease of the lumbar, thoracic, cervical spine and spinal tumours. I have considerable experience in the conservative and surgical management of these cases. Although a neurosurgeon, I no longer perform any brain surgery, confining my interest to the spine.
I qualified from The London Hospital medical colleague in 1989. I did my general surgical training at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and my neurosurgical training in North London based at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
I have had a number of local, regional and national roles in spinal surgery. I have sat on the executive council of the British Association of Spinal Surgeons; I am currently a member of the National Clinical Reference Group for complex spinal surgery and have led the North London metastatic spinal tumour group. I am the lead clinician of the complex spinal group at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and a member of the tumour team which deal with complex primary tumours of the spine.
I am a member of the Society of British Neurological Surgeons, the North American Spine Society and the British Association Spine surgeons. I regularly present at national and international meetings.
