About me

Having completed my training, I was appointed to Warrington NHS Hospital (now Warrington and Halton NHS Foundation Trust) in July 1995. On 1st April 2019 I retired from full time NHS practice having spent over 35 years in the NHS. I continue to work at the Spire Cheshire Hospital based at Stretton, Warrington treating both private and NHS patients.

My training included a 1 year fellowship in Trauma and Lower Limb Arthroplasty at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, Toronto, Canada before I returned to the UK to take up my current post.

I have chosen to specialise in Lower Limb problems - mainly in adults though I also see some younger patients with problems in these areas.

I have a particular interest in problems of the hip, knee, foot and ankle.

For the hip, my main focus is on hip arthroplasty - both primary and revision. My National Joint Registry data confirms that I have performed over 2000 hip replacements.

In the knee, I offer arthroscopic procedures (meniscectomy, micro fracture for early OA) as well as some of the more major procedures around the knee including joint preservation procedures such as proximal tibial and distal femoral osteotomy. Knee joint arthroplasty is a substantial part of my work including both primary knee replacement and revision surgery. I perform both total and partial knee replacement including (where appropriate) surgery to the patella-femoral joint. I have extensive experience of computer guided surgery for primary knee replacement.

For the foot and ankle I have experience of both hind foot and forefoot procedures and am a member of the British Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society. In the hindfoot I have experience of both ankle arthroscopy and other corrective surgery. In the forefoot I have expensive experience of the commoner surgical procedures such as for bunions/hallux vales, osteoarthritis of the big toe joint and other smaller toe surgery.

In March of 2019 I retired from full time NHS practice at Warrington Hospital which has given me more time to concentrate on patient care at Spire Cheshire
