About

My NHS practice encompasses general surgery, surgery for abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcoma (soft tissue tumours) and kidney transplantation. I also work with a number of spinal surgeons, helping them access the spinal column through small incisions and avoiding major blood vessels, a service I also offer privately. 



After qualifying with honours from the University of Leicester in 2002 I undertook surgical training in the East Midlands and latterly at the world-renowned Addenbrooke's hospital, Cambridge. I then worked for a year at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle as a consultant general surgeon specialising in hepatobiliary and transplant surgery. I took up my current post in Leeds in 2016.

My particular areas of interest are laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery and surgery for soft tissue tumours arising in the abdomen or retroperitoneum.



I am an experienced and advanced laparoscopic surgeon, having performed over 1000 keyhole operations. These range from removal of kidneys for transplant (live donor nephrectomy), through to removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) and repair of abdominal wall hernias.

My abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcoma practice is one of the largest in the north of England, performing in excess of 40 procedures per year. These often require removal of adjacent organs including kidney and bowel. I also specialise in the treatment of desmoid tumours of the abdominal wall, usually in conjunction with a plastic surgeon, and surgery for polycystic kidneys.



In my NHS role I am the clinical lead for renal transplant surgery. I am also one of the Training Programme Directors, responsible for the training of junior surgeons across Yorkshire and Humber.



I have a strong research interest. During my training I spent two years undertaking research towards my doctorate, which I was awarded with distinction in 2011. I have also won a number of prestigious national research prizes and have published articles in a number of areas including laparoscopic surgery, pain relief following surgery, gallstone disease and kidney transplantation. One of my current research projects is working to improve the involvement of patients in making decisions regarding their treatment.
