I am a Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Imperial College NHS and private Healthcare. I trained for over 12 years in plastic surgery in Cambridge, London, Swansea and Australia before becoming a Consultant. This included two years of research utilising new technology for early skin cancer diagnosis in primary care at the University of Cambridge, culminating in an MD Research degree, and nearly three years of focussed training as a fellow in microsurgery both in London and Australia. I was awarded the FRCS (Plast) examination in 2011 and have been on the GMC specialist register for plastic surgery in the UK since 2013. I was originally a Cambridge graduate, achieving a first class degree. From the academic perspective, not only do I have an MD, but have over 25 scientific papers in peer reviewed journals and have presented widely at national and international meetings. I have a strong teaching interest; I am faculty on the MS oncoplastics course run at the University of East Anglia, have set up a microsurgery simulation lab in my current post, am a judge at a national core training surgical simulation competition, faculty of the Imperial FRCS (Plast) viva course and am setting up a flap simulation course for 2017. I mainly perform microsurgical breast reconstruction using DIEP and TUG flaps, as well as breast symmetrisation, reduction, augmentation and body contouring. I am also on call for the major trauma centre at St Mary's, providing plastic surgery support for hand and lower limb cases. From the management perspective, I have set up a new spoke clinic at Northwick Park Hospital, which strengthens the links we have with the breast surgeons there, so that the pathway for our patients from that geographical area is made smoother. I very much enjoy guiding my patients through their breast reconstruction journey.
