My clinical focus is on the acute management of biliary (gallbladder) pathology, hernias and all major acute and emergency abdominal surgical presentations. An area less developed to date in emergency surgery, I am an advanced laparoscopic surgeon committed to managing emergency patients with keyhole techniques and managing patients where possible in an ambulatory setting.

I have several additional sub-specialty interests which include the surgical management of Hidradenitis Supparitiva and as such I have collaborated closely with my dermatology colleagues to build a bespoke and novel pathway for this difficult and often undervalued disease area within Leeds.

I am focussed on the delivery of sustainable and green options in surgery working hard towards the future net zero Spire Healthcare target. As such I led a Leeds based team to victory in a national competition ‘Green Surgery Challenge’ co-hosted by the Centre for Sustainable Health and Royal College of Surgeons (Eng). Looking at the delivery of net-zero laparoscopic surgery, I am now considered an expert in this field bringing my knowledge to the delivery of surgical techniques across a spectrum of presentations. I work closely with NHSE and other partners in this area and have presented internationally on the subject.

I trained in Liverpool as a post-graduate having completed initially a BSc in Pharmacology. As part of my studies I spent a year working with the pharmaceutical firm, Pfizer. I subsequently pursued surgical training throughout the Yorkshire region specifically focussing on training in Upper gastrointestinal and general surgery. I completed an
research MD focussed on using oncolytic viruses to treat metastatic cancers and I now work as an Emergency General Surgeon in Leeds Teaching Hospitals. I have published widely in a number of areas including in high impact journals and authored a number of book chapters.

I am passionate about training and changing cultures to flatten hierarchy and developing the next generation of surgeons and have worked both locally and in Uganda to deliver a number of laparoscopic simulation courses.
