I am a consultant neurologist practising at Spire Murrayfield Hospital Wirral and Spire Liverpool Hospital.
I have expertise in all aspects of general neurology, including stroke and epilepsy, with a special interest in vascular neurology, funny turns, and blackouts. I am dual‑certified in stroke medicine and serve as the clinical lead for stroke intervention at the Walton Centre, where I established the stroke thrombectomy service that now supports patients across Cheshire and Merseyside.
I am deeply committed to patient care. In my first year as a consultant, I received a clinical excellence award for designing the stroke intervention pathway for the Cheshire and Merseyside stroke network. I also currently serve as an adviser to the British Neurological Association’s stroke section.
In addition, I am the deputy lead at the NIHR‑funded Hyperacute Stroke Research Centre (HSRC) in Cheshire and Merseyside, where my research focuses on acute stroke therapies, including thrombolysis and thrombectomy.
I am also an honorary senior lecturer at Liverpool Medical School and an ex regional advisor for the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, where I help promote the College’s education and fellowship.
I am the MDT Chair for the Cheshire, Merseyside thrombectomy stroke intervention at Walton Centre, ex advisor for the Association for British Neurology for stroke, and an Honorary Senior lecturer University of Liverpool.
