Current NHS consultant posts held

I am a Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust, having trained many
plastic surgeons who now hold senior position. I am an author and co-author of many
published papers in national and international journals.

Research interests

I have written and co-authored numerous publications regarding management of complex wounds. I am so interested in recent research on the management of scars

Personal interests

I perform reconstructive surgery on hands (trauma, nerve compression, rheumatoid
arthritis) and breast (post mastectomy reconstruction, congenital asymmetry). My
specialist areas of interest include body contouring for patients after extreme weight
loss, chest wall reconstruction following coronary artery bypass surgery and
management of problem scars.
I also perform Paediatric Plastic Surgery. This has given me nationally and internationally
recognition.
