Virtual consultations:

I graduated from University of Glasgow Medical School in 2002 and did my basic surgical training in the West of Scotland. After a year as a Registrar in London, where I worked at King's College Hospital and St George's Hospital, I came back to complete my neurosurgical training in Scotland during which I trained in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee.

 

I went back to St George's Hospital to do a sub-specialist fellowship in neurosurgery, where I gained experience in all aspects of general neurosurgery and neuro-oncology, including awake craniotomy, fluorescence guided tumour resection and management of low grade gliomas. After the fellowship I returned to Edinburgh to take up a consultant post at the Western General Hospital.

My operative NHS practice includes management of emergency and elective spinal pathologies, including degenerative spine, which makes up 50% of my operative workload. In my outpatient clinics, I consult with around 500 patients a year with back and neck pain, as well as other spinal conditions.

In addition to general neurosurgery, I have a subspecialist interest in brain tumours (sub-speciality interest) and lead the adult neuro-oncology surgical service.

I have a keen interest in the education and training of undergraduate and postgraduate students and have completed a masters in surgical education to help me improve my educational skills. I am an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer and Clinical Tutor at the University of Edinburgh and have recently been accredited as a member of the Academy of Medical Educators.

In addition, I have research interests in neurotrauma, neuro-oncology and surgical assessment. I have had over 15 research paper/abstract publications and have presented at national and international meetings. I am currently actively involved in clinical research in neuro-oncology with a number of different university academic departments.
