About me
I was appointed at Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS trust as a Consultant Clinical Oncologist in 2011, specialising in Neuro-Oncology & Acute Oncology/ Cancer of unknown primary (CUP).
I qualified in 1995 from Charing Cross & Westminster medical school. In 1999, after completing my general medical training, I commenced my training in Oncology. This was based initially at Charing Cross hospital, and later moving on to the Royal Surrey County hospital in Guildford, and then the Royal Marsden hospital. This training provided me with a broad-ranging experience in the management of cancer. Having worked as a locum consultant for 2 years in London and then Guildford, I then returned to the Royal Marsden hospital to work in the Academic Urology unit where I undertook research in prostate cancer and gained further experience of innovative radiotherapy techniques.
Since 2011, I have specialised in Neuro-oncology - the oncological management of primary brain and spinal cord tumours, using both chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments and liasing closely with my Neurosurgical colleagues.
In the CUP clinic, I investigate and manage patients presenting after imaging suggestive of a new diagnosis of suspected metastatic cancer of unknown primary.
At Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS trust, I am the lead clinician for the Neuro-oncology Cancer Network multidisciplinary team. I am also lead clinician for Acute Oncology & CUP.
