About me

I joined Great Ormond Street Hospital as a Consultant Neonatal and Paediatric Surgeon in 2014.

My main area of clinical interest is in gastrointestinal surgery as well as treating children born with abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, diaphragm and abdominal wall. In my clinical practice at Great Ormond Street I contribute to specialist services for children with Cloacal Anomalies, Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction and Functional Bowel Disorders.

Having taught anatomy throughout my postgraduate training, I developed a keen interest in teaching and gained a Masters in Surgical Education from Imperial College London in 2012. I am currently Co-Director of Education at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

My undergraduate medical education was at Guy's, King's and St Thomas's Medical School. My postgraduate training was in South East England and included posts in Brighton, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster, Southampton and St George's Hospitals.

I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2013, and was awarded the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons Medal for outstanding performance in the intercollegiate examination.

Areas of interest

I have a specialist interest in gastrointestinal surgery, particularly in treating children born with abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal wall. I also work within specialist teams contributing to the care of complex conditions such as Cloacal Anomalies, Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction and Functional Bowel Disorders.

I also treat more commonly occurring conditions including hernias, hydroceles, undescended testes and umbilical hernias. I perform circumcision for medical reasons.
