About me
I did my senior cardiac training at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, and have worked in the North East ever since. Newcastle is my home town.
I am currently a member of the Educational Faculty member for the Royal College of Physicians, London. I have previosuly served as a council member for our national society - the British Heart Rhythm Society.
I teach/mentor for several technologies, using their latest devices for AF ablation.
We are currently offering state-of-the-art AF mapping and are one of only six centers researching this new system.
Areas of interest
• Ablation • Catheter ablation • Atrial fibrillation • Cardiac electrophysiology • Left atrial appendage occlusion (Watchman device, ACP device); Sports screening
