Professional profile

I am a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon working across both sites of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust (MTW). I was appointed permanently in November 2014 having worked as Locum Consultant there since March 2014. I graduated from the University of Birmingham Medical School in 2002 and completed my higher surgical training in the London Deanery in 2013. At the end of my training I was awarded one of just 6 prestigious Ethicon Laparoscopic Colorectal Fellowship available nationally, giving me broad experience in advanced laparoscopic techniques. I undertook this 6 month Fellowship at the internationally renowned laparoscopic training unit at Colchester University Hospital.

As a Colorectal Surgeon, I deal with a range of problems affecting the bowel. Colorectal problems can largely be divided into functional (such as irritable bowel syndrome - by far the commonest group of problems I see in colorectal clinics - or problems with leakage of stool), inflammatory (such as bowel infections, colitis or diverticulitis), anatomical (for example prolapse of the bowel, haemorrhoids or anal skin tags) or related to a growth (including benign polyps and bowel cancer).

I am also a General Surgeon, providing a range of treatments for problems affecting many different anatomical areas and organ systems, often related to the abdomen but not exclusively so. The commonest general surgical conditions I see are hernias of all types, skin lumps and bumps and pilonidal disease.

I am the Specialty Tutor for the whole General Surgery department with responsibility for ensuring high standards of training for junior doctors at MTW. I sit on a number of educational committees at Tunbridge Wells Hospital where I represent the department and its trainees.

In May 2016 I was appointed as Clinical Lead for the Colorectal Department at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Hospitals NHS Trust (MTW). I represent and speak for the department on various Trust committees and make decisions regarding clinical activity, with responsibility for ensuring that the department provides a high standard of care.
