I am a general Consultant Plastic Surgeon with a special interest in skin cancer surgery and management as well as skin surgery in general. I also have a medico-legal practice.

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1977, and obtained a thorough grounding in General Surgery, Vascular Surgery and Urology in Glasgow and York. I worked as a prosector in the anatomy department of the Edinburgh Surgical College. I moved to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge in 1983 to begin specialist training and obtained my  Registrar training in London, at both South-west and North-east Thames regional centres.
