I then completed my subspecialty training in Gynaecological cancer in Pan Birmingham Gynaecological cancer centre and was appointed as NHS consultant in the same centre.

In addition to my interest in ovarian cancer surgery (debulking), I also have a special interest in laparoscopic (Key hole) surgery. I worked as a Key hole surgery fellow for 2 years, obtained a Diploma in the subject from Auvergne University (France) and further developed skills and techniques of key hole surgery in women cancers.

I continue to be active in cancer research and I am a reviewer for a number of national and international Journals and for the Cochrane Collaboration.
