My clinical interests are all aspects of coloproctology and specifically colonoscopy, laparoscopy and inflammatory bowel disease. I trained in medicine at St Mary's Hospital, London and underwent surgical training in both London and Wales. My sub-specialty training in colorectal surgery was obtained in Cardiff, Swansea and St Marks Hospital in London. I received a fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England to assess virtual reality training in laparoscopic surgery, and was awarded a Master of Surgery degree for my work.
