Professional profile

I have a general neurosurgical practice including subarachnoid haemorrhage, head injuries, tumours and spinal disease.

My interests are in spinal disease, particularly lumbar spine, microdiscectomy and artificial cervical discs; and also in the management of various types of hydrocephalus.

I have been a college examiner and question setter for the FRCS (Neurosurgery) exam and am currently secretary of the Intercollegiate Surgical Board in Neurosurgery (ISBN).

I am director of my own medical instrument, device and design company, Neurodesign, www.neurosurgical-training-simulator.com. I have designed a set of surgical instruments for implanting artificial cervical discs as well as a unique craniotomy simulator for teaching neurosurgical techniques which is used at Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham and in a number of teaching hospitals across the UK.
