I am a luminal gastroenterologist with nearly 20 years' experience in treating people with problems relating to the oesophagus, stomach and bowel. I aim to empower patients with the knowledge and guidance they need to make their own treatment decisions and strives to ensure the whole experience is respectful, comfortable and dignified.

I qualified from Guy’s and St Thomas’ University Hospital Medical School in 1998. After general medical training I was appointed as a Gastroenterology Specialist Registrar in the Wessex region in 2003, and was awarded a PhD from Portsmouth University for the clinical research she undertook during her training. I have gained substantial sub-specialist experience in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and completed an Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship at St Mark’s Hospital before being appointed as a Consultant at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals in 2012.

At Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust I have a weekly Complex Inflammatory Bowel Disease clinic, leads the Significant Polyp and Early Cancer (SPEC) service and chairs the weekly SPEC multi-disciplinary meeting. I also lead the capsule endoscopy, colorectal cancer family history and the post-cancer treatment services.

As Endoscopy Training Lead for Kent Surrey and Sussex Deanery I oversee Registrar Training in the region. I am also Director for the regional JAG (Joint Advisory Group) endoscopy training centre, running courses for endoscopists at a National Level approximately once per month.
