My Expertise and Experience

I am a general surgeon with nearly forty years experience specialising in breast disease but other interests include hernia, abdominal disease, minor trauma such as whiplash injuries and urology.

I provide medico-legal reports for Doctors Chambers, Mobile Doctors, ewitness, Forensic Healthcare Services, Harley Street Medico Legal Services, Legal Reports & Services and Speed Medical Examination Services. I also provide reports for eighteen individual solicitors and a list can be provided.

I can see clients in central London, North London and Guildford and am prepared to travel elsewhere if necessary.

I regularly attend medico-legal updating courses and seminars such as those of Bond Solon and The Expert Witness Institute.

My Career:

I qualified from Bristol University and trained in Bristol and at St. Mary's, London. I am in my early sixties and have have had a very varied and wide-ranging medical career which has given me a broad, mature outlook.

I began postgraduate training as a general practitioner, switched to a hospital career with an interest in trauma and orthopaedics (including time in neuro-surgery and thoracic surgery) and then switched to general surgery and urology. I spent one year as a consultant urologist at Charing Cross University Hospital before leaving the NHS to work full time in private practice because I wished to give my patients time and personal attention.

After fifteen years I reduced my private practice clinical load and returned to the National Health Service as a locum consultant general surgeon. I was appointed Senior Lecturer in Surgery at Barts Hospital and Consultant Lead Breast Surgeon at Homerton University Hospital on 1 May 2007. I specialise in breast disease but other interests include hernia, abdominal disease, minor trauma such as whiplash and back injuries and urology.

I have 59 publications/presentations in peer reviewed international medical periodicals and at large medical meetings and numerous other local articles and presentations. I can send my CV, a sample report and terms by return post or email. Please telephone to discuss a potential case at no charge if you wish.
