I am currently a consultant orthopaedic surgeon based in City Hospitals Sunderland.

Research interests
I also hold a higher degree from the school of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Leeds which I completed in 2000. This has given me a strong grounding in medical research and to date I am a named author on over 20 publications. This has helped to form the basis of my evidence based practice, and I am currently the research lead for trauma and orthopaedics at Sunderland Royal Hospital.
Personal interests
I have a wife and two young children who I enjoy spending my free time with, exploring Northumberland and the beautiful local coastline.
I enjoy running and have completed 5 great north runs to date for various charities. If I have any spare time, I enjoy a spot of fly fishing and occasionally kayak fishing during the warmer months, particularly as it allows me to explore new areas around the region.
Publications
I am a named author on over 20 peer reviewed publications.
Courses offered to GPs
I run regular lunch and learn sessions in the region for local GP practices.
