I am a Consultant Cardiologist with over 30 years of expertise in the diagnosis and management of cardiac conditions, including coronary artery disease (stable and unstable angina, heart attacks and chest pain), hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias/palpitations including atrial fibrillation and SVT, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease. I am also a regional expert in the management of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I routinely perform invasive coronary angiography and permanent pacemaker implantation. I am the Cardiac Clinical Research Lead at Southend Hospital, and I carry out clinical cardiac research and publish widely in the field. I am involved in the clinical teaching and training of medical students (Bart’s and the London and Anglia Ruskin Medical Schools) and of junior (Resident) doctors in training at Southend Hospital.
I qualified with Honours from St Bartholomew’s Medical College (University of London) in 1993, after attaining a First Class Honours BSc degree From King’s College London. I then undertook training posts in London, including the Royal Brompton, London Chest, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals before completing my specialist Cardiology training at King’s College Hospital, London and the Swiss Cardiovascular Centre, Berne. I completed my research thesis in clinical Invasive Cardiology and obtained my MD in 2004 (University of London), and was competitively awarded the prestigious British Heart Foundation Advanced Training Scholarship in the same year. I was appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist at Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in 2005 and also hold an Honorary contract at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre, Essex.
