I am a Consultant Paediatric and Adult Neurosurgeon working in the Royal Hospital for Children and Young people (RHYCP) and Department of Clinical neurosciences (DCN) based in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

I then completed a Paediatric Neurosurgical Fellowship in Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.

I have a keen interest in teaching and train Medical students, Foundation doctors and post graduate Neurosurgical specialist trainees. I am a part of the question writing group for the Intercollegiate specialty Neurosurgical FRCS exit exams. I am an appraiser for the Consultant Neurosurgeons based in the NHS Lothian.

I have published more than 90 articles in peer-reviewed International Journals and have more than 125 presentations in National and  International meetings. I have peer-reviewed scientific articles for more than 40 journals and am an Editorial board member for 3 International journals.

My current work includes Paediatric and Adult neurosurgery. I have a subspecialty interest in Brain tumour surgery, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Hydrocephalus, Neuroendoscopy, Craniofacial surgery, spinal degenerative disease, disc prolapse, Chiari malformation and spinal  dysraphism. My private practice mirrors my NHS practice.
