I am a consultant general laparoscopic surgeon with an interest in Upper GI, Cancer and Bariatric (weight loss) surgery. My specialist practice also includes laparoscopic hernia, reflux and gallbladder surgery. Since qualifying as a doctor in 1989, my specialist surgical training has taken me from Nottingham to Leeds and Oxford. I was awarded a prestigious fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery at The Royal Adelaide Hospital, before taking up my consultant post in Derby in 2002. I have been a member of The Council of The Association Of Laparoscopic Surgeons since 2010. I have been committed to providing a specialist laparoscopic service in The East Midlands, for both NHS & private patients. I currently perform over 300 laparoscopic procedures per year, with nationally published outcomes.
