I am a Yorkshire trained Consultant Dermatologist who has over 10 years' clinical experience in dermatology. I also perform chemical peels and dermal roller procedures. Other than being highly trained in facial rejuvenation I also have considerable experience in the area and have performed over 500 procedures.
During my training I gained a thorough understanding of dermatological conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin allergy and skin cancer. Other than treating these conditions medically I have also qualified to perform skin surgery and have performed over 1,500 skin surgery procedures. I regularly perform audits of my own work to ensure quality and safety in the services that I deliver and am also an audit lead.
Over the past five years I have developed a specialist clinic in skin allergy and patch testing within the NHS which offers services to a large part of West Yorkshire. As well as a thorough understanding of the anatomy, physiology and treatment of skin diseases, I also have an interest in facial rejuvenation techniques and have completed certified training in the use of anti wrinkle injections for the upper face.
I take an active role in education, teaching both trainees in dermatology, junior doctors and medical students. I am also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Leeds University Medical School where, other than examining students, I also provide a pastoral role in mentoring students - guiding them through their early years at university. I am also well published in the international dermatology literature.
I am a member of the British Association of Dermatologists and the British Cosmetic Dermatology Group.
I graduated as a medical doctor from Leeds University and during my medical degree I decided to undertake an additional degree in pharmacology gaining a BSc Pharm. Having become a doctor in 1999 I then went on to become a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 2003. I started my training in dermatology in 2004 before completing my dermatology training in 2008.
