I am currently a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in trauma and foot and ankle surgery. I have been a consultant for 14 years and am an expert in foot and ankle injuries and conditions ranging from bunions to achilles tendon injures and arthritis.
I have completed a sports foot and ankle fellowship at Basingstoke General Hospital and a further foot and ankle fellowship at Guys and St Thomas’. I have undertaken a travelling fellowship to Boston, USA. On completion of training I went on to Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge for a further year of specialist training in trauma, foot and ankle surgery including diabetes.
I specialise in all conditions relating to the foot and ankle including trauma, arthritis, tendon issues, pain, deformity, shockwave therapy, fractures, soft tissue injuries.
I have been performing foot and ankle surgeon for 14 years as a consultant covering all types of surgery including key hole surgery and minimally invasive surgery. I perform PROMS and submit my cases to the BOFAS national registry.
I am Deputy Medical Director EOC, a leading centre of excellence for orthopaedics, and chair the clinical governance promoting quality improvement. I run and train on a BOA leadership fellowship in foot and ankle surgery and am an Educational Supervisor to at least two trainees a year. I have recently completed the Epsom and St Helier QI Practitioner Programme and was chosen as a spotlight presentation in the celebration event
I have set up and lead the South West London (SWL) foot and ankle group and have recently created the South West London (SWL) working group for achilles ruptures through an MDT. I set up the diabetic MDT at St Helier Hospital in 2011 which is now an established service aiming to provide excellence of care to a difficult and challenging population.
I collect patient feedback via Doctify and iWantGreatCare.

Personal profile
My activities outside medicine mainly involve sport. I still play occasional cricket but mainly concentrate on running and golf. I have played top-level college rugby and cricket, and have toured multiple countries with these sides.
In my time off I like to travel including trips to Europe, the West Indies, Africa, the Far-East, Mexico, South America and Canada, particularly if this involves skiing or watching cricket. Much of my time now is devoted to my wife and two children.
