About

I am a Consultant Breast Surgeon at Spire Norwich Hospital. I completed my medical degree at the University of Cambridge in 1991, subsequently completing my training at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. I was first appointed as a Consultant in 2003 at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and have been the lead of the Breast Unit for the majority of the time since.

First and foremost, in any consultation, it is essential to consider the whole patient in front of you, rather than just the disease process. No two cases are the same, care must be individually tailored for each patient. I strongly believe that multi-disciplinary management of breast diseases is essential for optimum treatment outcomes. All breast cancer cases that I see are fully discussed in team meetings to ensure the best treatment methods are chosen. 

In addition to my expertise in breast disease, I also have extensive experience in the surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid problems, including minimally invasive parathyroid surgery.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
