Professional Profile

After training posts in General Medicine, I further specialised in Respiratory and General Medicine as a Registrar in Merseyside.

In addition to my routine clinical training, I spent 2 years as a Clinical and Research Fellow at the prestigious Adult CF Unit at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, which is among the largest CF units in the country.  During this time, I carried out research into Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes, and completed my MD thesis through the University of Liverpool.

Following completion of my training, I worked as a Consultant in CF, Respiratory and General medicine at University Hospitals Bristol NHS Trust, one of the largest NHS Trusts in the South-West of England, prior to relocating back to Merseyside.

My NHS Practice as a Respiratory Consultant is at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, and I am an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer in the Institute of Infection and Global Health at the University of Liverpool.

I have led and completed several research studies leading to substantial publications and changes in clinical practice. I have published several articles in the areas of CF and non-CF bronchiectasis. These publications have been published in a wide variety of high-quality peer review journals including the European Respiratory Journal, Journal of CF and Chest.
