I am a Consultant Physician and specialist in gastroenterology and endoscopy. Until recently I was Clinical Director of the Sussex Bowel Cancer Screening Programme.

I trained at King's College Hospital, London, and then undertook higher medical training in Cambridge, The Middlesex and University College Hospitals in London.

I was appointed Consultant Gastroenterologist to Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust and until recently was the Endoscopy Training Lead in Brighton. I have specialist endoscopic skills in diagnosis and treatment of most gastroenterological diseases.

In 2007 I was awarded the Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship to the Medical University of South Carolina, USA investigating new endoscopic treatments. In 2008 I received the Silver Award for Clinical Excellence from the Department of Health.

I am one of only four accredited Bowel Cancer Screening Colonoscopists (UK's highest standard for colonoscopy) in Brighton. 

I am the lead author of  the UK guidance on bowel cancer screening for high risk groups including individuals with a family history of bowel cancer, polyps and colitis published in 2010.
