About me

I graduated from Guy’s Hospital Medical School in 1993 before undertaking specialist training in Cardiology across a number of London Teaching hospitals including a period of research into coronary physiology and cardiac stress testing as an MRC Fellow at Imperial College London. I was appointed Consultant Cardiologist at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow and Barts and the London in 2005 before moving to the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre in 2007.

I have previously been the Lead Cardiologist for the Essex Cardiac and Stroke Network and am currently the Essex Cardiac Lead for the East of England Strategic Clinical Network. I am also the Divisional Lead Cardiologist for the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre.

Research interests

I continue to maintain an interest in research in coronary artery disease and interventional cardiology and am involved in a number of clinical trials and registries investigating outcomes and new treatments in interventional cardiology based at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre. Many of these projects have led to presentations at both national and international cardiology meetings.

Personal interests

I enjoy travelling the world and spending quality time with my wife and 3 wonderful children

Courses offered to GPs

I continue to be an active teacher/trainer in a number of medical teaching courses for postgraduate training in London and for General Practitioners in Mid and West Essex. I am also a trainer/mentor for two GP’s with specialist interests in Cardiology currently practicing in West Essex.
