Professional background

As a consultant anaesthetist at UCLH (FRCA, FFFPMRCA, MD), I developed a strong interest in acute and chronic pain management. I currently lead the Acute Pain Team and also overlook the inpatient chronic pain patient service at UCLH.

Teaching and research form an important part of my responsibilities and make life as a consultant challenging and interesting. I am also the lead clinician for vascular anaesthesia working within a world class Multidisciplinary Endovascular Team at UCLH. I have been examining for the European Society of Anaesthesiology for many years, in German and English.
