I am currently working as a Consultant Head and Neck/ Neuroradiologist at BartsHealth NHS Trust having been appointed in April 2014 and have over 11 years of Consultant experience. I completed The Cardiff University Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate course in 2020 and have been undertaking medicolegal work for 4 years. I undertake both claimant and defense work and I have completed over 90 court compliant reports during this time interval.
In my clinical role as a head and neck radiologist I undertake subspecialty head and neck ultrasonography (US) involved in the assessment of salivary gland, thyroid and parathyroid gland pathology and work in a tertiary centre oncology unit (head and neck one-stop clinic). I report both adult and paediatric Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) imaging studies that involves a combination of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). I undertake US guided fine needle aspirations and core biopsy procedures as part of my routine US lists and as part of the head and neck one-stop clinic. I am a core member of the head and neck oncology, thyroid cancer multidisciplinary teams (MDT) as well as general endocrinology, skull base, neuro-ophthalmology and petrous temporal bone MDTs.
I am the radiology lead for the salivary gland service that involves managing patients with salivary gland pathologies. This involves performing routine sialogram examinations as well as minimally invasive techniques including sialoplasty and wire basket stone retrieval procedures. I was the clinical lead for Neuroimaging at BartsHealth NHS Trust from 2020 to 2022 and I am also an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London.
In my role as a neuroradiologist, I report both CT and MR imaging of the neuraxis working in the BartsHealth neurosciences unit that includes the level I trauma and stroke units at the Royal London hospital. I am actively involved in the neurosciences MDTs.
