I am a Consultant Cardiologist at the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust (Lister Hospital, Stevenage and Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, Welwyn Garden City). I qualified from the University of Edinburgh in 1993 and completed my post graduate higher specialist training in general medicine in hospitals around London including St George's Hospital, London, King's College Hospital, London and the Sussex Cardiac Centre, Brighton.

I secured a one year Interventional fellowship to work at the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis (OLVG) Hospital in Amsterdam where radial angioplasty was first performed and pioneered. Throughout my training I have worked with eminent European and world leaders in cardiology. I am trained in performing multi-vessel and complex coronary artery intervention (angioplasty/stents) using both the radial and femoral approach.

In addition to general cardiology and percutaneous coronary intervention, I also have an interest in pacemakers, valvular heart disease, syncope, hypertension, heart failure, palpitations and arrhythmia management.

I was awarded the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) in 2006 after completing my thesis "Electrocardiographic Monitoring of Myocardial Ischaemia - Novel Methods and Potential Application in Implanted Devices", under the aegis of a Welcome Trust project grant.

I take an active role in training general practitioners, junior doctors, nurses, technicians, paramedics and medical students.
