I am Merseyside's premier endoscopic sinus and nasal surgeon, based at Aintree University Hospital since 2015. My scope of practice at Spire Liverpool Hospital benefits from being a high-volume endoscopic sinus surgeon in the NHS. Unlike other ENT surgeons, my clinical practice is focused entirely on nasal and sinus problems. I do not maintain a cosmetic or functional rhinoplasty practice. This means I am highly competent in managing chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, nasal septal perforation, revision sinus surgery (including frontal sinus), nasal tumours, watery eye and smell disorders.

I am a highly trained and nationally recognised endoscopic sinonasal surgeon. I am the go-to person for many ENT colleagues within a 3-hour drive radius. I am regularly involved in complex cases at Alder Hey Children's Hospital and The Walton Centre.

In addition to maintaining an excellent clinical practice, I hold senior hospital leadership roles and serve as the lead supervisor for an international training programme. I am highly sought after on the surgical teaching circuit in the UK and Europe.
