I do various specialist clinics on different endocrine conditions including PCOS, parathyroid, adrenal and pituitary disorders and diabetes.
I did my postgraduate training in diabetes and endocrinology at the Oxford Deanery (2005-2014). I have a research interest in diabetes and cardiovascular disease and spent three and a half years during training running large scale clinical trials including ASCEND (A Study of Cardiovascular Events in Diabetes) and heart protection studies (HPS-2 Thrive and HPS-3 Reveal) at the clinical trial service unit (CTSU), the University of Oxford.
