I specialise in diseases of the gallbladder and liver. As a member of the Liverpool Hepatobiliary Unit, I perform over 50 major open and laparoscopic (keyhole) liver resections a year as well as over 100 laparoscopic gallbladder operations (cholecystectomy).

I also have extensive experience in the investigation and management of hernias, including groin, incisional and abdominal wall hernias. I perform open and laparoscopic repairs as part of my practice.

I deal with a wide spectrum of benign and malignant liver and gallbladder conditions, both as direct referrals from patients (without the need to see a GP first), referrals from GPs and specialist referrals from other surgeons across the region.

I hold a prestigious NIHR Research Scholar fellowship, a national award to fund my research activities. I am also the UK's first Surgical Specialty Lead for advanced colorectal cancer, funded by the Royal College of Surgeons and Bowel Cancer UK.

I am a member of the NCRI Upper GI and Advanced Colorectal Cancer clinical studies group. I am also an executive member of the North West Surgical Trials Unit.

I am the Royal College of Surgeons UK Lead for research into bowel cancer that has spread to the liver. I also have National Institute for Healthcare Research (NIHR) Fellowship for clinical research and trials in metastatic colorectal cancer and advanced hepatobiliary disease.

I have published over 90 journal articles, and written 15 book chapters. I am regularly invited to speak on liver and gallbladder surgery at national and international conferences.
