I have been a consultant gynecology and gynecological oncology surgeon for the past 10 years. I specialize in the treatment of gynaecological conditions both benign and cancer. I am a sub-specialist surgeon in gynaecological cancer. I treat vulval, vaginal, endometrial, ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancers and pre-cancers.
I also treat complex benign conditions including endometriosis and fibroid surgery.
I specialise in advanced minimal access surgery including laparoscopic and robotic assisted surgery.

As a gynaecological oncology surgeon I have expertise in cytoreduction surgery both in the primary and interval (between chemotherapy) setting for ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancers.
I perform radical hysterectomies and trachelectomies, including pelvic lymphadenectomies for cervical cancer.
For endometrial cancer most procedures I perform are robot assisted and include sentinel lymph node biopsy to improve recovery.
I perform simple or radical vulvectomies with sentinel lymph node biopsies or comprehensive groin lymphadenectomies for vulval cancer and pre-cancer.
I also provide risk reduction surgery for people with risk of gynaecological cancer which may be genetic or associated with other cancers.
From a benign gynaecology point of view I have expertise in minimal access surgery, robotic and laparoscopic, including extensive endometriosis, large uterine fibroids and ovarian lesions.
I also specialise in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy , colposcopy, vaginoscopy and vulvoscopy.

I qualified from ‘The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland’ in 2005. I undertook general obstetric and gynaecological in Lancashire and completed an MD in ‘Biospectroscopy towards screening and diagnosis of cancer’.

I sub-specialised as a gynaecological oncology surgeon in Leeds and was appointed as a consultant at St James’s University Hospital in 2017.

I am a registered colposcopist with the British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (BSCCP) and a member of the British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) and European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO). I am an honorary senior lecturer at Leeds university.

I am the MDT lead clinician for the Leeds cancer centre. We received referrals for gynaecological cancer from 7 different trusts with a catchment population of nearly 3 million.
I am the clinical lead for the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer alliance (Optimal Pathways Group), were we develop and coordinate services producing local guidance.
I am a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Leeds, teaching and assessing both undergraduate and postgraduate students. I have a special interest in fundamentals of education and run 3 cadaveric courses for open, laparoscopic and robotic surgery per year.
I am the MAC (medical advisory committee) representative for gynaecology at the Spire Hospital Leeds.
I have a special interest in the utilisation of AI technologies for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of gynaecological cancers. I am involved in the development of interactive information which empower patients and increase efficiencies in longitudinal patient care.
