About me
I am currently attending at Nevill Hall Hospital and St Woolos Hospitals, offering private rheumatology care in St Joseph's Hospital, Newport. I have been a consultant rheumatologist since 2003, completing my training at York Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary (Yorkshire's training programme). I developed my expertise as part of the Leeds early arthritis project, considered one of the pioneer centres in early inflammatory arthritis management.
My expertise also includes rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis management, osteoporosis, connective tissue disease (Lupus, Scleroderma), soft tissue rheumatism, joint injections and DEXA reporting.
I am also involved in the development of the integrated Rheumatology services in Gwent and am have served as Clinical Director/Lead Clinician for Rheumatology in Aneurin Bevan Health Board (ABUHB) hospitals in South Wales.
