About me

As an experienced practitioner, I delighted to offer thorough examination and work-up of all arrhythmic conditions. I perform the full spectrum of cardiac ablations including complex ablations of conditions such as atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia.

Alongside Prof Loubani, I provide the regions only hybrid AF ablation programme which offers higher success rates for persistent and longstanding AF. For heart failure and inherited arrhythmia patients I can offer implantation of cardiac rhythm management devices including defibrillators.

Having completed my training in general medicine and general cardiology in Glasgow, I obtained a PhD in cardiac cellular electrophysiology looking at the progression of ventricular fibrillation in ischemia, an area in which I have published widely. Following this, I became a clinical lecturer at the University of Manchester and began my training in clinical electrophysiology and device implantation at the Manchester Heart Centre. During this time, I researched and published on many aspects of atrial fibrillation and inherited arrhythmia. To further my clinical experience I undertook a clinical electrophysiology fellowship at the prestigious Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. I have been working as a consultant cardiologist at Castle Hill Hospital since Feb 2014, and have expanded the regional arrhythmia service.

I am passionate about increasing the coordination of arrhythmia services across the Humber region. To facilitate this I have been instrumental in establishing and leading the weekly regional advanced arrhythmia and rhythm device multidisciplinary team meeting. To ensure we all stay up-to-date with research I also organise our monthly EP/device journal club meetings.
