Research and Publication

I maintain an active research programme, particularly in relation to the outcomes of surgery for colorectal cancer, anal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and minimally invasive haemorrhoid treatments. I continue to audit my work, presenting at national and international meetings. In addition, I publish regularly in peer-review journals, am the co-editor of a book published by Cambridge University Press in 2014 entitled "A Surgeon's Guide to Anaesthesia and Peri-operative Care" and am often invited to lecture both in the UK and abroad.

Personal Profile

My main interests have always been sporting, particularly rugby union. I won my Cambridge Blue in 1994, playing scrum-half for the winning Cambridge University side in the Varsity Match at Twickenham. I made over 50 appearances for The Blues, and won LX Club Colours and Under 21 Colours, captaining all sides including The Blues. At school, I represented England Schools 18 Group.

I now enjoy coaching junior rugby, playing golf as a member at Gog Magog Golf Club and spending time with my wife and 2 sons.
