About me

I am an Upper GI bariatric surgeon, with interest in general surgery of childhood, at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust. I have finished my surgical training at NHS England Education North East and have gained the CCT certificate in October 2021. Following a post CCT robotic/bariatric fellowship at Reading, I was appointed at my North Tees permanent consultant post in September 2022.
I had training and speciality registration in two countries and My NHS practice includes wide variety of open, endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures for adults and children.
I have completed a large design-based research project to create an online training course to teach surgeons to safely remove the gallbladder in keyhole surgery and focussed on other aspects of training and patient safety in theatre. I completed my PhD degree successfully in 2017. I also have multiple publications in high impact journals, including a leading article in the BJS. My research gained the first place in the bright idea award 2011
Along with my clinical experience I have had a vast experience in education throughout my career including supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students and have completed a diploma and PhD in medical education (surgical skills assessment and training). I am also a member in Newcastle university medical school assessment with an Honorary Clinical senior Lecturer status at Newcastle University. I am a Basic Surgical Skills trainer at the Royal College of Surgeons of London. I am also a Member of Faculty of surgical trainer at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, MFSTEd and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
