Professional profile

I have been a consultant general vascular and endovascular surgeon for over 10 years. My research-based higher degree was on management of varicose veins for which I received the European Venous Forum first prize. I am a national trainer for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms and dissection. I have an active clinical and research interest in computational modelling of aortic disease. I am also a Reviewer for European guidelines for managing arterial diseases including leg claudication, diabetic and leg ulcers, carotid disease, renal and mesenteric artery stenosis (narrowing). I also specialise in providing surgical access to the spine from the front, operating jointly with spinal surgeons.
