I was appointed as a Consultant Thoracic Surgeon in Leicester in 2009. I became an Honorary Senior Lecturer in the University of Leicester in 2017.

My practice includes all aspects of thoracic surgery with a special interest in parenchyma preserving oncological lung resections, chest wall surgery and surgery for emphysema including endobronchial valves and coils.
