I offer patients investigation, diagnosis and management of a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions including: Inflammatory arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis), Osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease (including Paget's disease and osteomalacia), Osteoarthritis, Soft tissue rheumatic disorders (including tendonitis and bursitis), Polymyalgia rheumatica, Gout, Fibromyalgia syndrome, Connective tissue disease. I also perform joint and soft tissue injections and I am skilled in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound to facilitate the diagnosis and monitoring of arthritis.

I completed my pre-clinical studies at Cambridge University, and graduated with distinction in clinical studies from University College London. I undertook my specialist rheumatology training at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, a national centre of excellence. I have previously held a Rheumatology Consultant post in Worcestershire however I now work at South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust as a Consultant Rheumatologist and Clinical Lead for Osteoporosis.

I have a keen interest in medical education, holding a postgraduate qualification in the subject. I am actively involved in medical student teaching and the supervision of doctors in training. I have also published in peer reviewed rheumatology journals.
