About

My particular interests are the management of dyspepsia (indigestion) and endoscopy; acid reflux disease and its surgical management; all types of hernia surgery (open and laparoscopic); laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery for gallstones); weight loss surgery (gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery); surgery for oesophageal and stomach cancer; nutrition and feeding.

I have been a consultant for over 15 years and have spent the last 20 years working in full time specialist surgical practice. I specialise in the management of conditions affecting the stomach and oesophagus, endoscopy and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. In recognition of my past and ongoing contribution to research in this area, I have been appointed as Professor within the University of Leicester.

To date, I have performed in excess of 3,000 endoscopies (100-120 each year); 2,500 laparoscopic (keyhole) operations (120-140 each year); 1,500 hernia operations (60-70 each year); 750 stomach operations (50 each year) in both my NHS and private practice.

I was made Honorary Professor within the University of Leicester (2015), in recognition of past and future contributions to research and teaching. In recognition of my sustained commitment to teaching, I have been made a Senior Fellow with the Higher Education Academy (2014).

I am actively involved in the assessment and quality assurance of medical training. I examine medical students at the University of Leicester, was an Examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons MRCS exam between 2009-2015, and currently examine for the Royal College of Surgeons Consultant qualification exam (Part III).

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