I have been a Consultant Upper GI Surgeon in Bristol since 2015, specialising in minimally invasive and endoscopic treatments of oesophageal and gastric disease. This includes hernia surgery of any type, gallbladder surgery and surgical techniques for the treatment of reflux and achalasia.
I work in the regional centre for Oesophago-gastric cancer and am one of two consultants delivering the full range of endoscopic treatments for Barrett's oesophagus in this cancer network. My interest in Barrett's oesophagus has led me to coordinating a network wide focus group with the aim of standardising and improving the quality of care for patients with Barrett's oesophagus. I have worked with my colleague Andrew Hollowood in Bristol since 2014 and we now work as partners in Spire Bristol Hospital.
I am the chair of the upper GI multidisciplinary team in Weston General Hospital, where I provide a specialist outreach service for upper GI cancer and complex benign upper GI conditions.
In University Hospitals Bristol (UHB), I am the lead for mortality review for the division of surgery, coordinating our learning from deaths programme for surgical teams. I am also the surgical lead for emergency laparotomy, and with colleagues in anaesthetics, am responsible for driving quality improvement for high risk emergency surgery. Finally, I have taken on a lead role in standardising and improving the quality of care for patients with Barrett's oesophagus within UHB, and in an advisory capacity across our cancer network.
