--

I am UK trained and qualified in both dentistry and medicine at the Royal London Hospital. After completing these I went onto the prestigious South Coast programme for general surgical training and specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Training. My specialties encompass oral surgery (removal of teeth, removal of oral lumps etc) head and neck cancer, skin cancer, salivary gland surgery including minimal access, facial trauma, facial pain and temperomandibular joint disorders.

I was awarded first place in a competition for the National Intercollegiate Head and Neck specialist Fellowship which I undertook in Birmingham, a world renowned Head and Neck unit, while also taking the opportunity to visit other centres of excellence like Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto.

I have  the clinical Lead for the Oral and Maxillofacial unit on the Isle of Wight and lead the multidisciplinary team in Skin Cancer, and have also lead the Head and neck cancer multidisciplanary team, I am currently co care group director for the Head and neck surgical care group. I am a question writer for the exit fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and I sat on the National Council of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons – a position elected by my peers nationally. 

Most importantly my passion is my patients, it is a tremendous honour to be in a position to care, help and support.
