Professional profile

I fell in love with my specialty from the first time I walked onto a labour ward as a medical student in London in the 1980s and watched the birth of a baby. From then onwards I wanted to be an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. After qualification I trained in South London, Oxford and Bristol regions, finally specialising in the field of reproductive medicine as lecturer to Professor Lord Robert Winston at Hammersmith Hospital.

Since I qualified, healthcare has undergone a huge change in both clinical services and the way in which those services are funded and provided. Throughout this time, I have grown in experience and confidence but the one thing that has not changed is my commitment to care for patients and their families. Being a doctor for 29 years, a local NHS consultant for 18 years, living, working and bringing up a family have given me a unique perspective and aspiration to serve the community within which I live and care for.

I have many areas of interest including pelvic pain, heavy and irregular period problems; menorrhagia; uterine abnormalities (fibroids and polyps); Gynaecological ultrasound/scanning; Colposcopy (examination of cervix and vagina); Fertility investigation and treatment/infertility and assisted conception; Minimal access/invasive surgery; menopause management (hot flushes, altered libido and mood; hysteroscopic surgery; premenstrual tension; miscarriage management and prevention including recurrent miscarriage; paediatric and adolescent gynaecology; labial and perineal abnormalities; prolapse management including surgery; colposcopy; vulvoscopy.

I am a trained paediatric and adolescent gynaecologist belonging to the British Society for Paediatric & Adolescent Gynaecology and an accredited colposcopist. I regularly undertake pelvic floor prolapse management including surgery and am an accredited colposcopist and vulvoscopist. My research interests lie in the field of fertility where I have won many prizes for scientific presentations in the field of fertility and gynaecological ultrasound.

I am an accredited teacher and instructor for the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the British Fertility Society (BFS) and was instrumental in the creation of the IVF unit at Epsom & St Helier NHS University Trust which I lead. As a reproductive specialist I provide diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment for conditions affecting fertility such as endometriosis, fibroids, uterine abnormalities, tubal factor infertility and evidence based recurrent miscarriage management.
