I have extensive experience in all aspects of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Internal medicine and have been a consultant since 2009. My interest lies in integrated working to achieve the best patient outcomes and excellent patient satisfaction through person centred care.
In endocrinology, I have a large practice involving pituitary disease but also other aspects of endocrinology such as thyroid, adrenal and reproductive disorders and metabolic disorders (including calcium metabolism and osteoporosis).
In diabetes, I have extensive experience in all aspects of treatment of the condition and its complications with a special interest in complex management of Type 2 and Type 1 diabetes.
In addition to being a Consultant Physician in Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Countess of Chester Hospital, I am the clinical lead for an award winning Integrated Diabetes Services. I have been Chairman of the North West pre-gestational diabetes audit group and am Chairman of the Western Cheshire Diabetes Network.
I lead a successful clinical trials unit that has achieved highest recruitment figures nationally to studies involving cutting edge therapies for diabetes and its complications. I publish in peer reviewed journals on a regular basis on various diabetes and endocrine topics and presents nationally and internationally.
My other leadership roles include Clinical Director for Urgent Care at the Countess of Chester Hospital. I was previously been the Chairman of the New Consultants Committee and the Acute Care Fellow at the Royal College of Physicians, London.
