I trained at Oxford University and was appointed as a consultant in 1998. I perform gallbladder, liver cancer and liver transplantation surgery and work in one of the largest units in Europe.

I have published over 160 peer reviewed publications and have supervised several post graduate fellows towards PhDs and MDs.
