I have over 12 years’ experience in orthopaedics, and now specialise in hip and knee surgery. I qualified from the University of London in 2002 and completed my higher surgical training in the Wessex region of Southern England.

​I have been heavily involved in cutting edge research throughout my training. I have published over 20 research articles in top journals.

I am dedicated to passing on skills to the next generation of surgeons. I supervise numerous junior doctors and hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Medical Education (PGCE).

I initially gained a Master of Science Degree from the University of Cardiff in 2009 for my work on a novel flexible stemmed hip implant to reduce the risk of fracture, post hip replacement.

I went on to take up a full-time research position at the University of Southampton where I led a Medical Research Council funded project assessing tissue-engineered polymeric scaffolds with stem cells, as a method of regenerating lost bone and cartilage. I won numerous prizes for the work including the Translational Research Award and Gauvain Prize, as well as gaining a patent for a novel regenerative scaffold that I developed. I was awarded a PhD from the University of Southampton in 2014.

​After completing my standard UK training I undertook an international fellowship in Auckland, New Zealand, where I obtained specialist training in complex hip and knee surgery. During this time I gained additional knowledge and skills in computer navigated knee replacement, revision hip and knee replacement, and unicompartmental (half) knee replacement. On return to the UK I underwent further sub-specialist training under the guidance of Professor Robert Middleton, learning techniques for the management of complex hip problems, including hip arthroscopy and complex revision hip surgery.

My keen research interest remains. My most recent paper on reducing infection in knee replacement surgery was highlighted as one of the most important of 2016 by the Bone and Joint Journal.

I have also been awarded:

  • Fellowship Lower Limb Arthroplasty North Shore Hospital, Auckland 2014
  • Fellowship Hip Surgery Royal Bournemouth Hospital 2015

I also offer a medicolegal reporting service for personal injury claims.
