About me

I have a large urogynaecology practice with over 800 new referrals each year and 500 urodynamic investigations.

I perform approx 250 prolapse procedures and approx 250 operations for stress incontinence annually, amongst other general gynaecology. I have an ongoing audit including 2500 TVT procedures. We have a fortnightly multidisciplinary team meeting - MDT for incontinence and prolapse. I hold a national clinical excellence award (July 2014) for my work in research. My NHS unit is accredited by the British Society of Urogynaecology. I hold Professorial appointments at the University of Kent and Greenwich University.
