Virtual consultations:
I completed my neurosurgical training in 2012, and managed the full range of brain and spine conditions before focusing my practice on complex spinal conditions in 2019, building on fellowships at Oxford and Cambridge.
I routinely use minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques for a wide variety of spinal conditions and I have recently introduced endoscopic spinal surgery at Addenbrooke's, as an extension of this.
My special interests are in the treatment of complex spinal conditions such as tumours, fractures, and infection as well as wear and tear (degenerative) disease affecting all parts of the spine.
I work closely with colleagues in the fields of neurology and radiology in the management of Chiari malformations, syringomyelia and spontaneous intracranial hypotension, performing a number of operations for these conditions every year.
I lead neurosurgical teaching for Cambridge University's undergraduate medical course at Addenbrooke's and am actively involved in postgraduate teaching and assessment at a national level.
