About me

I am a Consultant in Pain Medicine with experience from 3 healthcare systems. I got trained in East Yorkshire and Warwickshire Schools of Anaesthesia in the UK and successfully obtained the Fellowship in Pain Medicine from the University of Western Ontario, Canada (2005-06).

I believe in and practice evidence based medicine encompassing the bio-psycho-social aspects of pain management. I have a special interest in minimally invasive injection therapies, and am skilled in performing ultrasound guided pain relieving injections.

Consultant in Pain Medicine & Anaesthesia, University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust, UK 2007-
Lead, Pharmacy & Prescribing, Warwick Medical School 2017-
Honorary Associate Clinical Professor, University of Warwick 2020-

Editor, British Journal of Anaesthesia Education 2011-16
Committee Member, Interventional Pain Medicine SIG, British Pain Society 2009-13
Clinical Lead in Pain Medicine, UHCW NHS Trust 2009-12

I have authored 4 books, written chapters and have many journal publications. My research interest includes low back pain, pain relief after knee surgery, opioids in chronic pain, and mental defeat in chronic pain.
