Specialist training

I qualified in Medicine from Kings College Hospital, London in 1988 before completing my Surgical Training in Norfolk and London. My training in bone and soft tissue tumour surgery was in London and I have had further Fellowship training in the USA, visiting centres in Boston, Iowa and the Mayo Clinic, Rochester. I was appointed as Senior Lecturer in Orthopaedics at the Institute of Orthopaedics, University College London before taking my present consultant appointment at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. I have been a Consultant since January 2000.

Clinical activities and interests/research

As a member of the London Sarcoma Service I treat patients with all forms of bone and soft tissue tumours, both benign and malignant. I also perform joint replacement, resurfacing and revision surgery of hip and knee joints. My research interests include implant design and fixation and limb conserving surgery for malignant disease. I have several publications on the diagnosis, and orthopaedic management of bone and soft tissue tumours and all aspects of joint reconstruction. I also have a special interest in bearing surfaces for joint replacements and particularly the effect of metal on metal bearings on biological systems. I am the Chairman of the Infection Control Committee at the RNOH and as Clinical Tutor and Royal College of Surgeons Tutor at Stanmore am involved in training junior surgeons.
