I am a Consultant Hand and Wrist Surgeon in Leeds. I perform over 400 hand and wrist procedures each year.

My surgical practice includes traumatic injuries to hand/wrist and elective hand/wrist surgery including small joint replacements, thumb CMC joint replacement, wrist arthroscopy procedures, Dupuytren's disease, hand and wrist arthritis, nerve disorders and tendon surgery.

I qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2010 and completed an MSc in Surgical Practice in 2015. I completed a nationally competitive advanced training programme - hand and wrist surgery fellowships in Leeds, which is recognised by the British Society for Surgery of the Hand. I completed two further fellowships in hand and peripheral nerve surgery at Leeds and Chelsea and Westminster.

I have obtained postgraduate certifications in hand surgery from both British Society for Surgery of the Hand and the European Board of Hand Surgery. 

I have an interest in global surgery. I have volunteered in Malawi with British Society of Hand Surgery to develop a sustainable hand unit at the Lilongwe Institute of Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery.
