About me

I was an undergraduate at the United Medical and Dental schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London. My general medical training was at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge where I was also able to work at Papworth. This experience led me to pursue a career in Cardiology. I undertook my specialist training in cardiology in the Wessex deanery and my research with Imperial College London at the Royal Brompton Hospital. I completed my training with advanced clinical fellowships in Heart failure and electophysiology at the Wessex Cardiothoracic centre in Southampton
