Specialist
Qualifications
MB BS 1993 London; FRACS (GS) 2007
Profile
I am a general and colorectal surgeon offering clinics in both Invercargill and Queenstown.
I trained at St Thomas' Hospital in London and then gained my Fellowship to the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh in 1999. I came out to New Zealand for a year in 1996 as part of my Edinburgh Fellowship, and was taken by the beauty of the landscape and the friendliness of New Zealanders. After I'd gained my Edinburgh Fellowship I emigrated to New Zealand and joined the training scheme for the Australasian College of Surgeons.
I gained my Fellowship to the Australasian College of Surgeons in 2007, and then spent a further year working at the Royal United Hospital (RUH) Bath, UK. In Bath I gained additional training in colorectal surgery, particularly in laparoscopic bowel surgery.
I returned to New Zealand in 2008 to take up my position as Consultant General Surgeon here in Invercargill. I am currently the Chairman of the Senior Medical Staff here in Southland, and am on a number of committees.
