I am a substantive consultant in Pain Medicine, Anaesthesia and Perioperative Care at the University College London Hospital NHS Trust; my clinical interests include the management of patients with neuropathic pain, and pain relating to complex neurological disease. Over the past two years I have helped establish the UK’s first ever specialist (joint) pain and neurology clinic at my Healthcare Trust, and also developed a specialist multidisciplinary clinic, offering one-stop-shop access to pain medicine, physiotherapy and psychology for patients with complex bio-psycho-social needs.

I studied preclinical Medicine at the University of Cambridge and clinical medicine at Imperial College London. I subsequently completed specialist training in General Medicine, at various sites across the Imperial School network in West London. During my training, I arranged a secondment to the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, in Belgium, where I practiced Internal Medicine and Palliative Care. After achieving Membership of the Royal College of Physicians, I completed seven years of specialist training in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at the Barts and the London Schools, before undertaking Advanced Pain Training at Barts Health NHS Trust, and Guys and St Thomas' NHS Trusts. In 2012 the Faculty of Pain Medicine awarded me with the Examination Prize, for achieving the top score at the FFPMRCA examination. I have also been awarded the Nuffield Gold Medal, from the Royal College of Anaesthetists, for my performance in the primary FRCA examination.
