Specialises in

I have more than 20 years' experience in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. I have been Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Mid Yorks NHS Trust since 2009. Additionally, I have practising privileges at Spire Methley Park Hospital, Spire Elland Hospital and Spire Dewsbury Clinic.
I have wide experience in benign gynaecology. I have a special interest in laparoscopic surgery, management of heavy periods including conservative surgeries for menorrhagia. My other interests are managing early pregnancy problems and menopausal problems.
Menopause service: I am a registered British Menopause Society menopause specialist. I offer tailored management plans for peri-menopausal and post-menopausal symptoms in an initial 45 minute appointment, including a holistic approach to manage menopausal symptoms, hormone replacement options, including testosterone therapy, and alternatives to HRT where necessary.
I am passionate about educating, supporting and empowering women through all stages of menopause. I want all women to achieve a successful and healthy menopause, by helping them to control their symptoms and safely improve the quality of their life and overall health.
I am also a menopause trainer for doctors and other healthcare professionals. I have given numerous talks to GPs and done menopause patient events to increase the awareness about menopause and possible solutions.
After many years of experience in gynaecology, I aim to provide care that is evidence-based and tailored to each individual woman.
I am also an accredited Colposcopist, regularly dealing with abnormal smears and irregular vaginal bleeding. I completed an ‘Advanced Certificate in the Principles and Practice of Menopause Care’ in June 2022 and have been seeing women with menopause problems since then in the NHS and private sector.
I keep myself updated with current literature by attending courses and updating my knowledge.
I provide best evidence based practice to my patients. I regularly audit my work and the results are among the best in the country in achieving targets. Yearly patient satisfaction surveys have shown very high satisfaction with my care.
