I trained in minimal access surgery as a Registrar in Guildford under the tutorship of Professor Chris Sutton, and subsequently undertook a research project into the side-effects of pelvic cancer surgery based at St George’s Hospital and the Hammersmith Hospital, which culminated in my MD thesis from the University of London.

I spent two years in Southampton and Portsmouth on a Macmillan funded sub-specialty training fellowship in gynaecological oncology. I was subsequently appointed as the first Consultant in Gynaecological Oncology at The Royal Surrey County Hospital in 2002. This is an NHS regional cancer network post with sessions at East Surrey and Crawley Hospitals. I am currently both the Chairman of the Gynaecological Tumour Group and a Clinical Director of the SWSH Cancer Network.

I am married with three children and live near Dorking in Surrey.

I undertake private practice at the Guilford Nuffield Hospital, Mount Alvernia Hospital and BUPA Gatwick Park Hospital.

I have considerable experience in surgical gynaecology for benign and malignant disease. My principal areas of expertise are in gynaecological cancer care and colposcopy, laparoscopic and minimal access surgical techniques and the treatment of endometriosis and fibroids.
