I'm a Yorkshireman who trained in Respiratory and General Medicine at Guy's, St Thomas' and King's College Hospitals and at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Cystic Fibrosis where I also gained further experience in asthma, allergy and airway infections.

My NHS practice is based at University Hospital Llandough specialising in Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis and General Respiratory Medicine. I specialise in respiratory medicine with special interest in cough, breathlessness, and respiratory infections.

I have soon settled into my country life in the Vale enabling me to pursue my enthusiasm for walking and the countryside. I have run numerous marathons for charity and continue to keep fit. I love theatre, most music but relax to classical, Nina Simone etc. Wining and dining is always a winner. My house and garden are my castle and grounds, my place of thought and endless hours of contemplation.

Owns 100% of the spirometry machine which uses at Spire Cardiff Hospital.
