I am an experienced Consultant Respiratory Physician, who believes in providing the best possible care for my patients. I take time to achieve a sympathetic understanding of their issues. I am thorough in my clinical approach. My outpatient practice covers all aspects of respiratory medicine but I can provide particular expertise in the investigation and management of cough and breathlessness. In addition I have special interests in interstitial lung disease, respiratory infection including bronchiectasis, lung cancer, asthma, COPD and obstructive sleep apnoea.
I qualified from The London Hospital Medical College in 1991 and completed postgraduate training in the North West Thames region, including at the Royal Brompton, Harefield and Charing Cross Hospitals. My research on Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (a form of chronic rejection) following lung transplantation at Harefield and Royal Brompton Hospitals resulted in my MD postgraduate degree from Imperial College, London.
I was appointed as a Consultant Respiratory and General Physician in 2003 at West Hertfordshire Hospitals (St Albans, Watford and Hemel Hempstead Hospitals) NHS Trust and at Harefield and the Royal Brompton Hospitals.
My current clinical governance and teaching interests include interstitial lung disease (ILD) , the antimicrobial committee, the medical gas committee (oxygen therapy) and the management of pneumonia. I run respiratory medical clinics and weekly clinics in interstitial lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis). I am a core member of the lung cancer MDT team and ILD MDT at West Herts Hospitals. I have experience with procedures such as fibreoptic bronchoscopy and non-invasive ventilation. My interests include respiratory physiology and HRCT thorax imaging.
My practice includes ready access to investigations either directly from myself or through colleagues, which includes lung function tests, CT thorax imaging, sleep studies, fibreoptic bronchoscopy, EBUS bronchoscopy and pleural procedures. I work closely with the thoracic surgical, radiology and respiratory physiology teams in order to provide a comprehensive approach for the management of my patients.
