About me
I completed my Orthopaedic training program in London Deanery and trained as a specialist spinal surgeon in London, Liverpool and Nottingham.
For the past 20 years, I have been working as a spinal surgeon in University Hospitals Derby & Burton NHS Foundation Trust. I was the head of spinal services at Royal Derby Hospital. I was also the lead clinician for spinal cancer services in University Hospitals Derby & Burton NHS Trust for 10 years.
I have a special interest in microscopic spinal surgery and minimally invasive spinal surgery to aid speedy recovery.
Outcome data in the British Spine Registry for around 799 patients on who I performed lumbar spine surgery showed an improvement in leg and back pain following surgery. I participate in monthly complex spine surgery meetings and mortality morbidity meetings which help me to review my practice.
I regularly teach medical students and orthopaedic trainees. I am actively involved in research and have over 30 publications in various reputed journals.
