About me

I have been practising medicine for >30 years, and have worked at consultant level for >20 years. My clinical practice encompasses all areas of paediatric and adolescent endocrinology and diabetes.

Thanks to the unique training culture within the NHS, my clinical experiences have been rich and varied. I have been lucky enough to work in several specialist centres across the country, and managed a huge numbers of children with both common and complex endocrine conditions. My experience includes patients from all cultures and backgrounds, and I am proud to offer anyone I see the same level of service.

I practice evidenced based medicine. I see children and young people quickly and efficiently and only request investigations and start treatments if absolutely necessary. As a parent, I understand the importance of being friendly and approachable, and to use clear, jargon-free explanations.
