I am a Consultant Medical Oncologist based at The University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust and an Honorary Associate Professor at The University of Birmingham. I am a renowned expert in the Oncological management of all forms of thoracic, colorectal and liver malignancies.
I actively treat lung, colorectal and liver cancer across multiple hospital sites across the West Midlands. I specialise in all forms of cancer drug treatments including chemotherapy, immuno-oncology, precision oncology and chemoembolisation.
I completed medical training at St Bartholomew's Medical School, including a First Class BSc Honours in immunology and cell pathology from University College London. I then went on to specialise in Medical Oncology in the West Midlands and was appointed to University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust in 2011.
I have a large clinical trial portfolio and I am the UK chief and principle investigator for national and international studies. I work closely with pharmaceutical companies to access novel drugs for my patients.
In addition to this, I have published extensively and regularly present at regional, national and international cancer meetings. I am an invited medical expert for NICE committee reviews for new anti-cancer drug therapies.
As a steering committee member of the British Thoracic Oncology Group, I have a pivotal role in supporting and educating thoracic professionals across the United Kingdom. I am an honorary clinical advisor for EGFR Positive UK, on the expert panel for Roy Castle Foundation and I am also an advisor to ALK Positive UK.
I aim to deliver cutting edge, individualised and evidence-based cancer treatments for my patients, whilst ensuring their health and wellbeing is also prioritised.
