Biography
I am a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon working for the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. I am predominantly based at the Royal Gwent Hopsital in Newport but also work at Neville Hall Hospital in Abergavenny and have a clinic at Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan in Ebbw Vale.
I completed my specialist training in General and Colorectal surgery within the Wales Deanery. I have also completed a dedicated laparoscopic colorectal fellowship recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons and endorsed by the ACPGBI and ALSGBI. This fellowship with Professor Sagar in Leeds has also exposed me to a high volume of laparoscopic colorectal surgery and complex pelvic surgery, pelvic exenteration and composite abdomino-sacral excision of locally advanced and recurrent pelvic oncology. In addition the fellowship has provided further exposure to surgery for inflammatory bowel disease, ileoanal pouch surgery and complex proctology. As a result I am competent in both laparoscopic colorectal surgery and complex pelvic surgery.
I have gained full JAG accreditation for colonoscopy and am therefore competent to a standard commensurate with independent specialist practice.
I also have an MSC in Medical Education and am regularly involved in training other doctors and students in many different capacities.
