I am a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon in the West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which encompasses St Albans City Hospital, Watford General Hospital, and Hemel Hempstead Hospital.

My clinical practice includes the management of benign breast disease, breast cancer risk assessment and management, in addition to screen-detected and symptomatic breast cancer treatment using various image-guided oncoplastic and breast reconstruction techniques with excellent oncologic and aesthetic outcomes. In my NHS practice, I also undertake a full range of breast ultrasound scanning, guided biopsies, and reporting.

My special interests include breast health, breast cancer risk management and screening, as well as personalisation of breast cancer care using plastic surgery techniques to optimise cancer and aesthetic surgical outcomes.

As I am quite aware of the huge psychological and physical impact of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment modalities on my patients, I have been commended on my ability to communicate empathetically and clearly with my patients to reassure them and navigate through personalised complex shared decision-making towards an excellent outcome. In addition, I provide support services that run parallel with the traditional medical and surgical treatment modalities to try to alleviate the impact of the diagnosis and treatment.

As a core member of the St Albans Breast Unit multi-disciplinary team of West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, I work closely with my medical and clinical oncology colleagues, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and other multi-disciplinary team members to deliver excellent individualised patient care.

I am heavily involved in research and publications, with over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals; I have directed my research projects to focus on innovating and evaluating patient care. As a member of the editorial committee and the reviewer board of several medical journals, I have reviewed over 100 articles for 15 peer-reviewed journals.

In addition to my NHS commitments, I am a General Medical Council Associate, Brunel Medical School examiner, Association of Breast Surgery Medical School Champion, and member of the Hand on Heart charity organisation.
