About me
I qualified from Guys and St Thomas Medical School in 1998 and obtained my core medical training from teaching hospitals in London. I went on to obtain membership of the Royal College of Physicians London in 2003 and then entered into Specialist Radiology training at The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. My special areas of interest included Musculoskeletal Imaging, Oncological and Cross Sectional Imaging. My fellowship training at the Royal Marsden Hospital complemented these interests.
In 2009, I was appointed a Consultant Radiologist with an interest in Musculoskeletal Imaging at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust.
I have published in the BMJ and presented at many international Radiological meetings including the International Cancer Imaging Society, the UK Radiological Congress and The Radiological Society of North America.
Recent audits of my Interventional work have demonstrated no adverse outcomes and excellent patient satisfaction.
I am the lead Musculoskeletal Imaging Radiologist at Kingston Hospital. Other lead positions include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Lead and Trauma Lead.
