Specialises in
I qualified from the University of Nottingham in 1981. After House Officer posts at the University Hospital in Nottingham, I worked at the Queen’s Medical Centre as an SHO in General Internal Medicine. Having gained the MRCP examination, I then moved to Liverpool as a Registrar in Medicine at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, followed by a year as a Registrar in Neurology at the Mersey Regional Neurological Unit.
In 1985, I moved to Oxford to work as a Research Fellow at the Sheikh Rashid Diabetes Unit at the Radcliffe Infirmary. My interest in hypertension began at this time, when I studied the effects of hypertension and its treatment on the microvascular complications of diabetes and in particular the progression of diabetic retinopathy. I also published papers on genetic risk factors for the progression of diabetic retinopathy.
In 1986, I moved as a Senior Registrar in General and Geriatric Medicine to Merseyside, where I held appointments at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and Clatterbridge Hospital. In the latter hospital I worked at the hypertension unit. I was appointed as Consultant Physician in Gloucester in 1990. Since then I have developed my interests in Stroke Medicine and began in 1993 a series of studies, looking at the process and outcome of stroke care which led to the development of an integrated care pathway. I also undertook with colleagues, a randomised study of hospital at home service.
I was appointed to his current post in July 2001 and with the team at North Bristol has developed a comprehensive stroke service including acute stroke thrombolysis and a 26-bed acute stroke unit and a 24-bed stroke rehabilitation unit and a weekly Neurovascular clinic. Other clinical interests include stroke spasticity.
