I work within the Hull regional endometriosis centre at Castlehill Hospital. I have experience across the breadth of benign gynaecology. I developed an interest in gynaecological oncology. I trained in colposcopy and became accredited in 2014; I was awarded the prize for the highest score in the BSCCP Colposcopy accreditation examinations.
