I have been a Consultant Gastroenterologist at St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust since 2000. I have a special interest in functional bowel disorders of the gut-brain interaction (DGBI).

I credit empathy and compassion as the ultimate values in my practice of medicine.

I am currently the lead for hepatobiliary endoscopy (ERCP) as well as the lead clinician for Gastroenterology research.
