I was appointed to my consultant post in 2020, having completed my training in Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Royal Papworth Hospital, Norfolk and Norwich, Liverpool Heart and Chest and Wythenshawe Hospitals. I also undertook a VATs Lobectomy fellowship in 2016 -2018 at Bristol Royal Infirmary. My main areas of interest are thoracic oncology, specifically minimally invasive lung cancer resection and enhanced recovery following surgery. I have a strong interest in education and research and am a founding member of the North-West Thoracic Surgical Research Collaborative.
