About me

I am a Consultant Gastroenterologist based at St George's Hospital, London and Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton. I qualified from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School and completed my junior and specialist training in London.

I am involved in all aspects of gastroenterological care running weekly gastroenterology clinics at St George's and Queen Mary's Hospitals along with specialist Inflammatory Bowel Disease clinics at St George's. I also carry out regular upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy lists at St George's and Queen Mary's Hospitals and I am an accredited screening colonoscopist for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme delivering this service for South West London.

In addition to my regular clinical work I have carried out work for the British Society of Gastroenterology, The Royal College of Physicians and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

I am the joint lead for Inflammatory Bowel Disease at St George's Hospital.

I am actively involved in research supervising MD and PhD students.
