She is based at St George’s Hospital in London, one of Europe’s foremost teaching hospitals and a major trauma centre, where she serves Divisional Chair for Surgery , Neuroscience , Cancer & Theatres/Anaesthetics and was previously Clinical Director for Surgery ( 2019-2025) and Lead Orthopaedic Hand and Wrist Surgeon .

Her clinical work spans the full spectrum of traumatic and non-traumatic conditions, from intricate reconstructive cases to the more common problems that affect everyday function. She has active research interests in Dupuytren’s disease, the use of virtual reality in wide-awake surgery, and the clinical applications of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Very professional, very friendly and reassured me straight away. Professional in the theatre everybody knew what they were doing and where they were expected to be they were very kind to me and reassured me when things were a little bit tricky. The surgeon herself was amazing. She made me feel very good and make me very aware of what was going on as she was doing the procedures. All in all, it was a very positive experience and I would just like to say thank you very much.
