I am a general consultant anaesthetist with over 35 years of experience in anaesthesia and appointed as a consultant in 1997. I provide anaesthesia for patients having surgery in the following specialities. General gynaecological and emergency surgery, trauma and orthopaedic surgery, urology, eye, breast, ENT and vascular surgery as well as dental surgery. I also offer regional anaesthesia for many operations and can provide carefully tailored conscious sedation to make surgery as pleasant as possible. I put a particular emphasis on pain relief following surgery and using methods to help patients return to normal as soon as possible.
