I am a Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in Barts and the
London NHS Trust with a special interest in head and Neck Malignancy. As part
of the continuous training in our speciality, I started with dual undergraduate
qualifications in both dentistry and medicine from Edinburgh and Birmingham.
This was followed by dual postgraduate basic surgical training in
Worcester/Birmingham for the FRCS in General Surgery and FDSRCS in Oral Surgery
and Oral Medicine. My 6 year Specialist Registrar training in the Yorkshire
Rotation between Leeds, York and Hull led to my Specialist FRCS in Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery. Amidst the busy surgical training, I also received MD
research training and undertook regional audit studies. Before my present post
I was a Maxillofacial surgeon at Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge for over 2
years.
Apart from providing a wide range of surgical services within the head, face,
mouth, jaw and neck regions, I am also a member of the multidisciplinary head
and Neck Oncology team. My special clinical interests therefore include
malignancies of scalp, face, mouth and neck including skin malignancies of the
head, face and neck; facial, mouth and neck infections; salivary gland
pathology and surgery; facial soft tissue and skeletal trauma; dentoalveolar
surgery; facial deformity and orthognathic surgery; facial pain including
temporomandibular joint disorders. I look forward to working with Hospital
Consultant colleagues, General Medical and Dental Practitioners and their
patients, and to providing my specialist services to you. See further details

As a Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, I am involved in
research, audit (clinical governance) and teaching. These are important in a
Surgeon's life in advancing the frontier of surgery, ensuring the delivery of
high quality surgical treatment, and sharing and updating of good surgical
practice. Apart from being a Consultant Surgeon, I am also an inter-regional
course organiser for nurses, theatre staff, surgical trainees and dental
surgeons. I am also supervising local and regional audit projects undertaken by
our surgical trainees and nurse practitioners within our specialty. My
non-clinical interests include computing, swimming and photography. I am also
an accredited Local Preacher in the Methodist Church.
