About me
I graduated from Cardiff in 1996 with several honours and awards. I am a consultant gynaecologist and clinical director at the University Hospital of Wales teaching hospital with specialist interests in minimal access surgery, endometriosis and infertility.
I provide care for women with endometriosis as part of multidisciplinary tertiary referral centre for endometriosis for all of Wales. My gynaecological practice is also focused upon providing assisted conception treatments and minimal access surgical treatments for infertility.
I have had extensive training and experience in minimal access surgery for endometriosis in Cardiff, Surrey University and also internationally in Atlanta USA. I hold the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists certificate in minimal access surgery and assisted conception. I have also completed minimal access surgery training to master's level. I teach advanced minimal access surgery through the Welsh Institute of Minimal Access Surgery, Royal College courses and internationally through the University of Athens.
I am committed to training doctors in minimal access surgery and doing the best for all patients with evidence based medicine. I provide one of the five advanced laparoscopic training centres in the UK. I have close links with some of the centres of excellence in the US.
I provide evidence based training national by teaching statistics through RCOG courses and committee work.
I am known for having a very down to earth approach and believe communication and accessibility are vital to deliver first rate healthcare. I believe in providing an individualised, evidence based patient centred service.
