About me

I have a busy gynaecological practice and see over 800 new referrals each year. I perform approx 250 prolapse procedures and 50 operations for stress incontinence annually. I perform 2 or more hysterectomies most weeks for a variety of conditions such as heavy and/or painful periods or prolapse. I offer traditional surgery for stress incontinence as well as non mesh procedures such as periurethral injections, autologous fascial slings and colposuspension. I offer treatments for overactive bladder such as posterior tibial nerve stimulation and intravesical botox therapy. I hold a national clinical excellence award for my work in research. My NHS unit is accredited by the British Society of Urogynaecology. I hold a Professorial appointment at the University of Kent.
