Personal profile
Having trained at the London Deanery in renowned teaching hospitals including Kings College Hospital and St George's Hospital in London, I gained extensive experience in rheumatology and general medicine.
I have considerable inpatient and outpatient expertise in general and complex rheumatology conditions with ultrasound skills for the diagnosis and management of various inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions.
In addition to my work at Benenden Hospital, I am a consultant rheumatologist and physician at Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother Hospital in Margate.
I have a strong interest in research, especially with inflammatory arthritis. I am also involved in musculoskeletal ultrasound training of specialist registrars, a supervisor of core medical trainees and an examiner for the MRCP Paces Exam for the Royal College of Physicians.
I work closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists and podiatrists to provide a multi-disciplinary team approach towards the management of patients' individual needs to ensure a personal and empathetic service.
