Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon,

Head and Neck Surgeon

Welcome to my website. I am an otorhinolaryngologist, or ENT surgeon. I practice general ENT but with a special interest in children with ear, nose and throat disorders and hearing problems.

I have been a consultant and head of department at St Mary's Hospital Paddington, Charing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital and Leicester Royal Infirmary. I was also an Honorary Consultant at Chelsea & Westminster and Royal Brompton Hospitals.

I took early retirement in 2014 to concentrate on my medical charity work and my private practice. In 2015, I co-founded The Global Tracheostomy Collaborative, a global multidisciplinary collaborative of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, patients and families committed to improving care for all children and adults with tracheostomies. They provide educational materials, change strategies and an international outcomes database. I have recently become Vice President of the Confederation of British Surgery.

Additionally, I am a Past President of ENT UK and a Past President of British Society for Otology, The Association of Otolaryngologists and Young Consultant Otolaryngologists. I served as an elected member of Royal College of Surgeons Council from 2004 to 2014.

I was Editor-in-Chief of CME Bulletin Otolaryngology and , I was an appointed Independent (i.e. non party political) member of the Leicester Police Authority and chairman of the Best Value Committee.

Until my retirement, I was heavily involved in teaching including; the Post Graduate ENT Diploma for GPs, membership of ENT training committees and exam boards at various levels.
