About me
I am a Consultant Cardiologist based in Bath and Bristol with a specialist interest in complex angioplasty. I work full time at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust and contribute to the 24/7 Emergency Service at the Bristol Heart Institute, which covers the regional heart attack service.
I provide a contemporary, evidence-based service, which is patient focused, to investigate and treat a broad range of cardiovascular problems. These include the investigation and management of chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations and fainting.
My sub-specialty is coronary intervention – using wires, balloons and stents to treat narrowing’s within coronary arteries. I am a high volume operator (I performed 492 cases in 2017 and 2018, compared to a national average of 244 cases) and perform the majority (93%) of my cases through the radial artery, which is proven to be the safest route. I have an excellent outcome and safety record with a complication rate well below those predicted in the British Cardiovascular Interventional Society (BCIS) statistical model (1.4% actual vs. 2.6% predicted).
The most important person during any investigation or procedure is always the patient and I am strongly engaged with governance and quality improvement to ensure that teams work effectively to provide the best patient care possible. This includes all forms of communication throughout.
I am closely involved in the education and training of Junior Doctors and contribute to a number of National and International research trials and registries. I am a member of the National BCIS Council and have been on the BCIS Training and Education Group for 5 years.
Outside work, I am a keen sportsman and cycle, swim and run regularly. I have run many half and full marathons, cycled London to Paris and participate in Sportives every year. My next goal is to complete a half IronMan. I have 5 children and spend as much time as possible with them, supporting their busy social and sporting lives.
