About me

I am a full time NHS Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon and Clinical Lead for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Orthodontics at Bedford Hospital, Lead for the Facial Deformity MDT and Deputy Chair of the Skin Cancer MDT at Bedford Hospital. I was appointed in 2015 after completing a Royal College of Surgeons of England fellowship in Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery. I was awarded the Gold Medal in the FRCS(OMFS) examination and ranked number one in the UK at application to higher surgical training. I am a faculty member on national and international courses in the specialty and have an interest in teaching trainees. I am a reviewer for 3 UK based peer reviewed surgical journals and am actively involved in ongoing clinical research and audit.

I am a leader in patient safety within the NHS trusts in which I work and am the Trust Lead for Clinical Human Factors in Bedford Hospital.

Areas of interest

1) Surgical dermatology and the management of skin cancers of the head & neck, plus benign skin conditions. I have completed training in the use of dermoscopy to aid clinical diagnosis, and am fully trained in the use of medical lasers.
2)TMJ (jaw joint) problems and associated conditions. I have set up a tertiary centre at the Luton & Dunstable Hospital and receive referrals from the whole of Anglia, a large part of the Midlands and can provide the full range of TMJ surgery including arthroscopy, open surgery. We have recently received NHS trust and commissioning to provide joint replacement surgery which is a huge accolade.
3) Facial deformity (traumatic or developmental) assessment and surgery, including orthognathic surgery, genioplasty, rhinoplasty and facial implants.
4) I have an ongoing interest and expertise in non-surgical and surgical facial aesthetics and skincare.
