I am a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust. I am the Lead for Foot and Ankle Surgery and the Lead for Trauma at the Trust. I have over 15 years experience and my practice include routine trauma operating lists, foot and ankle operating lists, fracture and foot/ankle clinics each week. Up to 100 patients are seen each week. I routinely act as a medico-legal expert with experience in case conferences and court appearances. My workload is 50% claimant, 25% defendant and 25% joint expert.

I qualified from the University of Sydney, Australia under a full medical scholarship and underwent training in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery within the Mersey Region. I am a member of the British Orthopaedic Society, British Orthopaedic Foot Society and the Mersey Foot and Ankle group. I hold an Honorary Clinical Lecturer position at the University of Liverpool. I am a regular examiner for LOCAS medical exams in the University of Liverpool.

My research portfolio includes peer reviewed publications, a book chapter and presentations at international and national meetings. My research work has received high citations across the country and have impacted on the techniques of surgical correction of intermetatarsal angle following fusion of the first metatarsal joint in hallux valgus deformities. I remain active in research and training of junior doctors.
