About me

I graduated from medical school in Yorkshire and started my initial junior doctor rotations in that region. Following some time teaching at the University of Cambridge I then began my surgical training back in Yorkshire before I attained a national training number in cardiothoracic surgery in the North West. I have worked at Liverpool Heart and Chest since 2015, completing my higher surgical training program here in 2021, then going on to become a consultant shortly afterwards.
