Professional Profile
Career summary
With over 25 years of dedicated practice in obstetrics and gynaecology since my qualification, I am an experienced Obstetrician and Gynaecologist . I have been a Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust since 2011. My role has focused on pioneering Minimal Access Gynaecological Surgery, a field where I am the appointed lead clinician.
My contributions to the hospital include the introduction of Advanced Minimal Access surgical procedures, notably Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Laparoscopic Resection of Endometriosis. These advancements are supported by my academic achievements, as evidenced by a Master’s Degree in Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopy from the University of Surrey. Beyond these specializations, I also have extensive experience in general gynaecological surgical procedures, encompassing both abdominal and vaginal surgeries.
In the realm of obstetrics, my expertise extends to managing complex pregnancy and postnatal issues. This includes proficiency in performing caesarean sections and instrumental deliveries. In my previous capacity as Risk Management Lead Consultant in Obstetrics, I have delved into investigating clinical risks and addressing medical malpractice.
My commitment to education is reflected in my active teaching role at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Here, I impart knowledge in laparoscopic/hysteroscopic skills and emergency obstetrics, including instrumental deliveries and shoulder dystocia, and also serve as a Royal College examiner. My scholarly contributions to the field are demonstrated through presentations of scientific research papers at national and international meetings. Additionally, my written work, particularly in the area of minimal access surgery, has been published in scientific journals.
