Background
I qualified from Manchester University. I commenced my anaesthetic training in Sheffield, later moving on to Great Ormond Street. I have been at the Trust since 1997.
I am interested in making maternity services safer by integrating Anaesthetic expertise into the Labour Ward and I’ve been working to make the emergency surgical service more responsive and effective.
I was honoured to receive the Evelyn Baker Medal for Clinical Excellence from the Association for Anaesthetist in January 2018.
