Clinical Experience

VASCULAR SURGERY
My interest in vascular surgery developed during my 2 years as a Research Fellow at Leeds General Infirmary, and following my year as Registrar at Ealing Hospital, London. I subsequently spent three further years of vascular surgical training at Northwick Park Hospital, St Mary’s Regional Vascular Unit and Chelsea and Westminster.

Since 1999 I have been a Consultant Vascular & General Surgeon at Whipps Cross University Hospital. As a Consultant I have developed a busy vascular surgical practice and regularly perform the full breadth of open arterial surgical procedures. I am a member of the Vascular Surgical Society and all my cases are submitted to the National Vascular Database.

I have established an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) service with the interventional radiologists, a one-stop venous clinic and a local anaesthetic endovenous laser clinic (over 500 procedures performed). I have developed a special interest in the management and prevention of the foot complications associated with diabetes in which I liase closely with the Endocrinologists and Specialist Podiatrist.  I have been trained in vascular ultrasound and I now run a Consultant led “one stop vascular clinic” which has significantly streamlined the service.

ENDOCRINE SURGERY
For the last 8 years I have provided an endocrine surgical service for our department. I perform between 50-70 thyroid/parathyroid procedures annually. I now perform almost all of the parathyroid procedures via a targeted approach using preoperative radionuclear and ultrasound imaging.

My clinical interest in the use of ultrasound enables me to identify the exact site of thyroid tumours immediately before the procedure, allowing appropriate siting of the surgical incision.

My department has presented at the British Association of Endocrine Surgeons (2005, 2007) and Association of Surgeons of Great Britain Annual meetings (2009). All endocrine surgical procedures are submitted to the British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons National Audit.

GENERAL SURGERY
I have obtained extensive emergency surgical experiences since working at Whipps Cross which is busy acute District Hospital. In addition to endocrine surgery my elective general surgical work includes laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia repair and soft tissue surgery.  I have developed my skills in minimally invasive surgery and regularly perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendicectomy and thoracoscopic sympathectomy.

Teaching

UNDERGRADUATE
Whipps Cross University Hospital is closely affiliated to the Royal London and St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical School and has a large commitment to undergraduate teaching.   Throughout my appointment I have had third year and final year student attachments.  I have also supervised medical students in their special study module in which they prepare a project on a vascular topic. I lecture to each new group of undergraduates [40 students] on vascular surgical topics.   In addition I have regular medical student attachments from the University of St Lucia who spend one year of their training at Whipps Cross Hospital.

POSTGRADUATE
At Whipps Cross University Hospital I have gained immense experience in teaching surgical trainees who attend the MRCS and FRCS [gen surg] courses. These courses occur 3 times a year and my commitment includes clinical teaching using my patients, mock viva examinations covering the full breadth of the MRCS and FRCS [gen surg] syllabus. I was a tutor on the Definitive trauma skills course at the Royal College of Surgeons (2005-2008). I am also the current Chairman of Court of Examiners at the Royal College of Surgeons (2010-2012).

I have a strong commitment to surgical training and I have had a specialist registrar assigned to my firm for the last 7 years. I am Chairman of the North-East Thames Specialist Training Committee in General Surgery and a Surgical Tutor at the London School of Surgery.

Research, Publications and Academic Presentations

MD Thesis – Awarded 1998
The role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle injury following limb ischaemia and reperfusion.
The main thrust of my thesis was to investigate the aetiology of the muscle injury and limb swelling which follows lower limb ischaemia.   This was a period of full time laboratory research at the University of Bradford, which involved the use of an in-vivo model.  I discovered that some of the post-ischaemic injury was mediated by neutrophils and could be attenuated by inhibiting neutrophil function.  I was awarded the British Journal of Surgery prize for part of the work included in my thesis.

Other Studies:

  1. An analysis of the results of surgery for renal artery atherosclerosis.
  2. Collection and analysis of data from a prospective study comparing sapheno vein, dacron and PTFE as conduit for femoro-popliteal bypass.
  3. The cost effectiveness of intra-operative autologous transfusion in elective aortic surgery.

Further Clinical Research

  1. A prospective evaluation of the role of mammography in the management of palpable breast lesions.
  2. An assessment of the results of a community based service established in Ealing for the treatment of leg ulcers.
  3. An investigation of the diagnostic value of C-reactive protein and white cell count in acute appendicitis.
  4. A prospective study evaluating plasma neutrophil elastase as a marker of acute appendicitis.
  5. Co-ordination of the Joint Vascular Research Group study on the natural history of atherosclerosis renal artery stenosis.
  6. Audit of the use of  Methylene Blue in parathyroid surgery by members of the British Association of Endocrine Surgeons.

RESEARCH AS A CONSULTANT
I have been senior author on several papers as a Consultant and have presented at the Vascular Surgical Society of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Association of Endocrine Surgeons.
