About me

I graduated in medicine from Mumbai University in year 2000 and underwent higher specialist gastroenterology training in North West England and advanced liver fellowship training at St James University Hospital, Leeds. I worked as a locum consultant at the liver transplant unit in Leeds in 2013 before taking up my current NHS post at the Royal Bolton Hospital as a Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist where I am also the Clinical Director of the service.
