I am a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon working in London. My NHS commitments are shared between St George’s Hospital in Tooting, and Queen Mary’s University Hospital in Roehampton. I have a special interest in general plastic surgery and skin malignancies. I am a member of the Government’s Melanoma Taskforce: an expert panel of skin cancer and melanoma specialists convened to develop strategies to tackle the rising incidence and mortality rates from the disease. My other special interests include aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the ear and breast, vascular malformations, and post-bariatric surgery. As part of my day-to-day work, I regularly participate in governance and audit, training of postgraduate junior doctors and medical students, as well as continued personal development.  I am a mentor for 6th form students and teach them practical skills at the Royal College of Surgeons. I also mentor female medical students interested in a career in surgery.
