Professional profile

I specialise in adult and children’s surgery and the non-surgical management of non-cancerous ENT conditions. I have a special interest in the treatment of acoustic neuromas and other complex ear and skull base conditions. I have developed treatment for sinusitis and carry out key hole, minimally invasive sinus surgery, including balloon sinuplasty treatment. I carry several hundred operations per year.

I have been working as a consultant ENT and skull base surgeon in Leeds since 2001. As well as a surgeon with a busy clinical practice I am an honorary lecturer in otolaryngology at the University of Leeds. I have completed a Masters of Education degree and I teach regularly, both post graduates and undergraduates. I have a sub-specialist and general ENT practice for adults and children’s surgery and the medical treatment of ENT conditions.

I trained in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London and carried out a fellowship year in neuro-otology under Professor R T Ramsden in Manchester. My MD thesis was in research on the facial nerve. I have researched the training of junior ENT surgeons and I have a Masters of Education degree. I keep all patients’ medical notes encrypted on computer (data protection compliant) and therefore when I see a patient I never suffer the common problem of not having the medical notes instantly available. I try to treat every patient like I would want to be treated myself, if I was sitting in front of a doctor.

I am a former clinical director of ENT in the Leeds Teaching Hospital and the Otology Section Editor for the ENT UK e-learning program.

I am the secretary of the Mackenzie Society, medical error prevention society. I am the lead appraiser for the ENT, maxillo-facial and ophthalmology departments in Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust and I was one of the first doctors in the hospital to undergo revalidation.

I have a significant medico-legal practice and I have carried out reports and opinions for the police the coroner and I frequently give opinions on negligence cases as well as personal injury and noise induced deafness cases.

I have three wonderful small children (two girls and a boy) who keep me occupied. When I am not doing clinical work, I like to play tennis and golf and I have even started taking an interest in the garden!
