About me
I am a Consultant ENT/Head & Neck/Thyroid Surgeon at East North Hertfordshire NHS Trust and the Associate Medical Director of Cancer Services for East & North Herts Teaching NHS Trust. I run a high volume general ENT service with weekly MDT Head & Neck clinics as well as special neck lump and Thyroid assessment clinics at both the Lister and QEII Hospitals. I am responsible for the Head & Neck Services in East and North Hertfordshire. I was trained in London and was appointed as a Consultant Surgeon at the East & North Herts NHS Trust in 2000. My special interests include Neck lumps, thyroid and parathyroid surgery, General ENT, including paediatrics, head and neck cancers, and salivary gland surgery. I am the UK lead in continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery and regularly train other surgeons, both from the UK and overseas, in the technique. I have developed a Head & Neck/Thyroid Robotic Surgical Service and East & North Herts Teaching NHS Trust and was the first Consultant in the UK to develop a remote access robotic thyroidectomy service. Under my guidance, East & North Herts Teaching Trust have established a Thermal Ablation (RFA, microwave) service for the treatment of benign thyroid lesions.
