About

I am a consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in trauma, limb reconstruction and bone infection. I started a new post in complex trauma in the Major Trauma Centre at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire in Stoke-on-Trent in September 2014. Previously I was the clinical lead for major trauma in Brighton, the Major Trauma Centre for the Sussex Trauma Network. I am dedicated to improving standards in trauma care and pursue this through working with the Trauma and Audit Research Network (TARN), the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and AO (the largest orthopaedic trauma education and research organisation in the world). I have a medicolegal practice with a focus on clinical negligence and complex personal injury after major trauma.
