Consultant Plastic, Hand & Reconstructive Surgeon, Hull & East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, June 2014 to present

Research interests

I am the Yorkshire and Humber NIHR CRN Subspecialty Lead for Plastic Surgery.
I am trained in Good Clinical Practice for Research, and am the Principle Investigator at HEY NHS Trust for the NINJA Trial (a national RCT looking at nailbed injuries in children). I am the Lead for the UK TRIGGER group (currently carrying out an international survey looking at the management of trigger fingers, with a view to further studies to optimise the management of trigger finger).
I continue to be involved in research in areas of hand and plastic surgery, having been the local lead and collaborator in national studies of hand fracture fixation, tendon injuries, and Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP).

Personal interests

I am a keen sportsman having played hockey to a high level with Wakefield Men’s 1st Hockey team. I now enjoy playing squash, running, and hill walking, and have tried all forms of fishing over the years (most recently fly fishing for salmon). I am attempting to revive my musical interests playing the flute and piano. I am married and enjoy family life.
