Following medical qualification from Cambridge University in 2004 and junior posts in East Anglia and London, I completed my Higher Surgical Training in Plastic Surgery on the Oxford rotation. Subsequently, I was awarded a Travelling Bursary by BAPRAS to undertake further subspecialty training in Reconstructive Microsurgery at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, one of the foremost plastic surgery centres worldwide. This comprehensive training has provided me with the skillset to deal with common as well as complex surgical problems.

I am constantly looking for ways to improve our clinical practice, hence my interest in reserach and training. I hold a Clinical Lectureship at Oxford University where I was Senior Scholar and awarded a DPhil (PhD). I have worked as Fellow at Cochrane UK where I focused on the synthesis and dissemination of Evidence-based Medicine. I have published in medical journals as well as the standard plastic surgery textbooks and contributed to national guidance on traumatic limb reconstruction. I was fortunate to receive awards and grants from institutions including the Wellcome Trust, Academy of Medical Sciences, Royal College of Surgeons of England, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and BAPRAS.

Dedicated to the next generation of surgeons, I am a GMC-recognised trainer and member of the Education and Training Committee of BSSH, and interview for National Selection for entry into higher specialty training in Plastic Surgery in the UK. I serve as a peer-reviewer for international plastic surgery journals, run a national microsurgery training course for surgical trainees, regularly present at national and international conferences and host ‘Stoke Mandeville Plastics’, a popular international webinar series for plastic surgeons which focuses on cutting edge Plastic Reconstructive Surgery.
