Professional profile

I am a Consultant Cosmetic and Plastic surgeon based at the University Hospital of North Durham where I have worked since 2008. I also undertook my main plastic surgery training in the North East including Newcastle and Middlesbrough.

I have worked in the field of Plastic surgery since 1998. I am able to offer cosmetic surgery of the limbs, trunk and breast. In addition I can also offer non cosmetic surgery such as hand surgery, for which I undertook specialised subspecialty training in Nottingham, skin cancer and elective surgery.

As of 2018 I am the Clinical Lead for Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital of North Durham. Currently I am part of the team helping to introduce a full electronic patient record at CDDFT. Also I am Clinical Lead for Audit within the Plastic surgery department at University Hospital of North Durham.

I am a core member of the skin cancer multi disciplinary team so am able to offer a fully recognised holistic approach to skin cancer.
