About me
I qualified as a doctor in 1985 from Kings College Hospital in London. After starting training as a GP I changed my career plans to become a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. In 2001 I was as a consultant in Ipswich and as such well known and respected as one of the most senior and highly experienced consultants in the speciality in the East of England.
During my training I developed a special interest in vaginal surgery and treating women with female incontinence and prolapse (urogynaecology) and am recognised not only locally, where I was the lead for the speciaility, but also nationally as one of the speciality leaders in the field. In addition to my interest in urogynaecology I have also maintained a large practising profile in all aspects of Gynaecology including laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
In addition to my clinical work I have always been interested in clinical governance and risk management. I have been a member of both the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the British Society of Urogynaecology (BSUG) Guidelines committee. I undertake medicolegal work and as a leader in the speciality I have become a well known and respected medico legal expert whose opinion is often sought as I am known for giving a fair and honest opinion.
I am an educationist and aside teaching the trainees and future consultants of our specialty I am an examiner for the MRCOG exams and an external college assessor. In 2019 I became the Chair of the Part 2 EMQ Examination Committee and completed my term of office in 2023. Following this I was invited to undertaken a new role in the RCOG to develop a mechanism to give feedback to both candidates and examiners about their performance in the MRCOG Part 3 examination.
In 2019 I was elected by my peers to be the East of England Fellows representative on the RCOG Council. In 2022 I was re-elected for a further 3 year term.
I undertake annual appraisals covering all aspects of my practices in keeping with the GMC Guidelines on Good Medical Practice and was re validated in 2023 for a further 5 year period.
