He is the Director of Trauma for the Royal Berkshire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and played a key role in bidding for the Royal Berkshire Hospital to be recognised as an official Trauma Unit.

Andrew is an excellent trauma and limb reconstruction surgeon. He is clear headed in his thinking, friendly and approachable and a great person to work with. He has expertly looked after and expanded the regional trauma unit due to his hard work and commitment. Most importantly his patients love him and do very very well. If I had to have a limb injury treated I would honestly have myself driven from central london to him to look after me!
