I am a full-time Consultant working in a busy teaching hospital.

My areas of expertise for personal injury reports are general orthopaedic trauma, paediatric trauma and road traffic accident trauma (including whiplash); I regularly undertake medical negligence work in my main areas of expertise: paediatric orthopaedics (including late diagnosis of hip dislocation in children) and adult hip surgery, hip arthroscopy and hip replacement surgery. (Including failure of metal on metal hip replacements).
I have attended several seminars related to report writing and courtroom skills and have completed the Cardiff University Bond Solon Certificate (CUBS) in expert witness training.
My CV includes several trauma related publications in peer review journals.
