About

I’m a multi-award-winning, internationally renowned Honorary Professor and Consultant Dermatologist, Mohs micrographic and laser surgeon. I have extensive experience across all aspects of dermatology, with particular expertise in skin cancer (including Mohs surgery), acne, rosacea, pigmentation disorders, and skin of colour. With over 220 scientific publications, I hold an Honorary Professorship at UCLAN and am regularly invited to teach and lecture nationally and internationally. I advise global pharmaceutical and skincare companies and serve as a specialist advisor to the Care Quality Commission. My previous work includes social enterprise projects in the UK and internationally. I’m passionate about translating clinical and academic expertise into impactful public education, digital innovation, and health equity. I’ve been featured on BBC News, BBC Morning Live, ITV News and national radio discussing topics ranging from skin cancer and sun protection to access to dermatology and psoriasis. Open to research collaborations, advisory and consultancy roles, digital health strategy, and expert speaking or teaching opportunities — especially in the fields of pigmentation, skin of colour, skin cancer and the future of skin health.
