Professional profile

I have worked as a Sports Physician within professional sport for over 15 years. I treat a wide variety of sports and musculoskeletal injuries. I am the current WRU national team Doctor, having held this prestigious post since 2012.

I am a general Sports Physician with a wide range of experience in treating a wide variety of Musculoskeletal problems which do not have to be sports related! I have a particular interest in shoulder and knee problems as well as all chronic tendon injuries. I perform a wide variety of joint & soft tissue injections including steroid, platelet rich plasma, autologous blood, viscusupplements and high volume injections. I can guide these injections with MSK ultrasound when needed.

I perform over 200 joint and soft tissue injections per year and have been performing such injection sfor thirty years.

I am a member of the WRU medical management committee. I am also a member of the MOD working party on the use of diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound by non-radiologists.

I am a college examiner for the Faculty of Sports & Exercise Medicine in Edinburgh. I am also a tutor and examiner for the Sports & Exercise Medicine MSc courses in both Bath University & Cardiff Metropolitan.

I have a PG Certificate in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound and regularly perform diagnostic ultrasound as an extension of my clinical assessment where appropriate. This modality can be used to guide certain therapeutic injections when needed.
