I am a Consultant Cardiologist with over 30 years’ experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of heart conditions. My clinical work covers coronary artery disease including angina, heart attacks and chest pain, as well as heart rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and other causes of palpitations. I also manage hypertension, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease.
I have a particular specialist interest in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and am recognised as a regional expert in this area. I regularly see patients with suspected or confirmed POTS, supporting them with both diagnosis and ongoing management, often where symptoms can be complex and challenging to live with.
In my day-to-day practice, I provide a comprehensive, patient-focused approach to care, from initial assessment through to investigation and treatment. I routinely perform procedures such as invasive coronary angiography and permanent pacemaker implantation, alongside a full range of non-invasive cardiac investigations including echocardiography, heart rhythm monitoring and exercise testing.
Alongside my clinical work, I am the Cardiac Clinical Research Lead at Southend Hospital, where I lead and contribute to research in cardiovascular medicine. I have published widely in the field and remain actively involved in advancing our understanding of heart disease and improving patient outcomes. I am also committed to education and training, teaching medical students from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and Anglia Ruskin Medical School, as well as supporting junior doctors during their specialist training.
I qualified with Honours from St Bartholomew’s Medical College (University of London) in 1993, having previously completed a First Class Honours BSc at King’s College London. I went on to train at several leading centres in London, including the Royal Brompton, the London Chest Hospital, and Guy’s and St Thomas’, before completing my specialist cardiology training at King’s College Hospital and the Swiss Cardiovascular Centre in Berne.
My research focused on clinical invasive cardiology, and I was awarded an MD from the University of London in 2004. In the same year, I was awarded a British Heart Foundation Advanced Training Scholarship. I have been a Consultant Cardiologist at Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust since 2005 and also hold an honorary position at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre.
In terms of investigations and treatment, I offer a broad range of cardiac diagnostics including ECG and Holter monitoring, echocardiography (including contrast studies), exercise testing, and implantable loop recorders. I also carry out procedures such as cardiac catheterisation, cardioversion and pacemaker implantation, as well as providing cardiovascular risk assessment through blood pressure and cholesterol testing.
I welcome appropriate patients who wish to self-refer for assessment, without the need for a GP or specialist referral.
