About me

I am a enthusiast and leading proponent of Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery and have pioneered a number of procedures in the East Midlands. I perform over 400 laparoscopic procedures for hernias and gallstones every year with very low complication rates. Virtually all patients are suitable for Keyhole surgery, the most important thing is to find the right surgeon!

I have been President of the Association of Upper GI Surgeons and on the Councils of the British Obesity Surgery Society and Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons.

I run local and national training courses for hernia and gallstone surgery. I am an examiner in the final fellowship surgery exams.

Working with NHS England I have created the UGI & General surgery data sets which enables Surgeons and Managers to compare their results with their peers and improve safety in surgery

I have run 4 Quality Improvement studies for the Royal College of Surgeons improving delivery of Emergency Cholecystectomy in the UK in over 40 hospitals

I am co-lead of Sunflower study to determine the usefulness of MRI pre-operatively in cholecystectomy studies for the National institute of Health research
