About me

I have been a consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Southampton since 2014.

I completed a 2 ½ year fellowship in advanced laparoscopic surgery for the excision of benign gynaecological disease after securing one of the five training posts offered annually in the UK.

I have been awarded a PhD on investigating the role of Insulin-like Growth Factors in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

I perform advanced laparoscopic surgery and operative hysteroscopy and my main interests are Minimal Access Surgery and treatment to endometriosis, pelvic pain and menstrual disorders. My other interests are colposcopy, management of abnormal smears and vulval skin disorders.

Research interests

I am currently involved in research by contributing in the recruitment of multicenter UK studies.

1. PhD in Medicine - Medical School, University of Athens, Greece

My research demonstrated for the first time that MGF is expressed in endometriotic tissue and human endometrium and the findings were published in peer reviewed journals.

2. Local primary investigator in Southampton for the REGAL multicenter randomized controlled trial for the management of women with endometriosis.
This is an ongoing trial.

3. I am involved in the recruitment of patients for the DIAMOND and ESPRiT2 multicenter randomized controlled trial for the management of women with chronic endometriosis. These are ongoing trials.

4. Local primary investigator in Southampton for the HEALTH multicenter randomized controlled trial for the management of women with menorrhagia. Recruitment was closed in February 2017.
