I am a Consultant Neurologist at Spire Leeds Hospital, Spire Methley Park Hospital and Spire Harrogate Clinic. I have been working in Leeds Neurosciences since 2014 as a Consultant Neurologist with interests in Stroke and Headache disorders. I currently provide inpatient and outpatient work including general neurology and specialised headache/injection clinics.
I am actively involved in acute neurology, participating in stroke and headache NIHR and commercial clinical trials. I am particularly active in teaching medical students and trainee doctors including FY, CT and registrars. I have also been appointed to participate regularly on lecturing the medical students from the University of Leeds.
