About
Mr took up his post as a NHS Consultant General and Bariatric Surgeon in August 2014 having completed his surgical training in the North East, benefitting from being present at Sunderland Royal Hospital when bariatric surgery became an accepted NHS treatment for morbid obesity and during which time Sunderland became the busiest NHS bariatric centre in the country.

Since starting as a consultant in 2014 he has performed over 300 primary laparoscopic bariatric procedures (gastric bypass and sleeve) and more complex revisional cases (converting gastric bands to alternative procedures) in addition to performing gallbladder and hernia surgery on a weekly basis.
