About me
I  completed my Specialist Registrar training in 2008 entering onto the GMC Specialist Register and I have worked as a Consultant Hand Surgeon at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust since 2010.

Since appointment I have been the clinical lead for hand surgery for nearly 10 years and modernised the provision of hand surgery in Bradford and the surrounding referring units. This has lead to our department being recognised as a European Hand Trauma Centre by FESSH.

I am an examiner for British (BSSH) Diploma in Hand Surgery, I am involved in ST3 Registrar National Selection for Orthopaedics & Trauma and I am invited faculty on courses run by the BSSH and The Royal Colleges of Surgeon of Edinburgh and London.

I am a Fellow of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, the British Orthopaedic Association and the International Wrist Arthroscopy Society. I have presented my research work at national meetings with published papers in peer reviewed medical journals.

I am an educational and clinical supervisor for surgeons in training and involved in selection of resident (junior) Doctors. I provide fellowship training to Senior Registrars who are undertaking specialist training in Hand Surgery. I am a member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers at The Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.

I am a tutor for The British Diploma in Hand Surgery and a BSSH mentor for Hand Surgery Fellows and provide support for new appointed Hand Surgery Consultants.

I have undertaken the FESSH European Diploma in Hand Surgery, I have a Post Graduate Diploma In Clinical Education from The Royal College and Physicians of Glasgow and passed the Intercollegiate FRCS (Tr&Ortho) exam in 2008.

My specialist training was undertaken as a National Interface Orthoplastic Hand Surgery Fellow at the Regional Hand Units at Wythenshawe and Royal Salford Hospitals with further experience observing at The Upper Limb Unit at Wrightington Hospital over a twelve month period. I followed this with a further period as an Upper Limb and Honorary Hand Surgery Fellow at the Royal Derby Hospital and Pulvertaft Hand Centre.

I graduated from the University of Dundee in 1996 and had a nomadic basic surgical training throughout the United Kingdom (Tayside, Dorset, Devon, Glasgow and Dumfries), before settling in Yorkshire for higher surgical (orthopaedic) training.
