About me
I currently practice out of the Chaucer Circle Hospital in Canterbury where I am the Lead Endoscopist.
Originally, I was appointed Consultant Gastroenterologist to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital in 1999 and retired from that post at the end of 2023 having been Lead in Gastroenterology and Endoscopy for East Kent Hospitals for several years including during the pandemic.
Previously, I graduated from Cambridge University in 1987 and held junior hospital posts in Cambridge, Norwich and Southampton before undertaking my Gastroenterology training in London, based at the Royal London, Royal Free and St Bartholomew's Hospitals.
I was appointed Lecturer in Medicine at the University of London and was awarded an MD from the University of Cambridge for research into the molecular biology of Helicobacter pylori gastric infection.
