I am a Consultant Cardiologist with a specialist interest in advanced heart failure and complex pacemaker and defibrillator implantation. I am passionate about the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease and aim to provide patient-focused care in a sensitive, evidence-based way.
I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2003 before completing specialist training in cardiology and general medicine in Greater Manchester. I then undertook advanced fellowship training in heart failure and device therapy at Wythenshawe Hospital before taking up my first consultant post as Heart Failure and Device Lead at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
I currently work as a Consultant Cardiologist specialising in heart failure and complex cardiac devices at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital. I hold full accreditation from the European Heart Rhythm Association and am also accredited by the British Society of Echocardiography.
My clinical interests include the investigation and treatment of symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, blackouts and breathlessness. These symptoms can be linked to conditions including angina, heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, valve disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol disorders. I believe strongly in the importance of prevention, early diagnosis and timely treatment.
Alongside my clinical work, I am currently the Cheshire and Mersey Network Lead for Heart Failure and Complex Device Therapy and the Cardiology MAC Representative at Spire Manchester.
I also have a strong academic and research background. I completed a PhD at the University of Leeds in 2012, focusing on cardiovascular research, and have published more than 15 papers in peer-reviewed medical journals. My research has been presented nationally and internationally and has received recognition through several research award nominations and prizes.
