About me
My current surgical practice is predominantly gastrointestinal, including gall bladder and hernia surgery. I have trained in General Surgery in Scotland and London. I was a member of Professor Cuschieri's team who pioneered laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and I am one of the most experienced laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeons in current practice. I am an experienced trainer of junior surgeons and I am a member of the Court of Examiners at the Royal College of Surgeons.
