Make an enquiry

I am a consultant Medical Oncologist with interests in the specialist non-surgical management of upper and lower gastrointestinal malignancies, testicular tumours and general/acute oncology. I offer treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy and biological targeted systemic therapy. I am a strong believer in patient centred care and I recommend treatment in the light of most up to date published clinical evidence. I am actively involved in recruitment and management of patients enrolled in clinical trials.

I also teach and deliver training to junior doctors and future oncology specialists and I am an examiner for the Leicester Medical School. I have published in peer-reviewed journals.

I qualified as a medical doctor in 1996. I completed training in general internal medicine and worked as a Consultant Physician for a couple of years before undertaking a further seven years of training in oncology in the University Hospitals of Oxford, Nottingham and Leicester. During this time I completed an MSc Oncology from University of Nottingham. I am a Member of Royal College of Physicians, UK and Association of Cancer Physicians, UK and am on the GMC Specialist register.
