Biography
Qualified in 1996; trained in both General Medicine and Neurology. In my dedicated Uro-Neurology clinics, I see patients across a wide range of neurological disorders that include Multiple sclerosis and related inflammatory disorders, dementias, Parkinson’s Disease and Parkinson's plus syndromes, spinal cord tumour and traumatic disorders such as cauda equina syndrome. A growing number of patients with unexplained bladder, sexual and bowel dysfunction are being referred for evaluating a possible neurological cause, and I lead a dedicated pelvic neurology service that includes pelvic neurophysiology testing evaluating the afferent and efferent sacral somatic innervation, urodynamics testing and close links with Neuroradiology. The department runs a dedicated service for young women presenting with unexplained urinary retention, many of whom ultimately are found to have a primary disorder of sphincter relaxation (Fowler’s syndrome).
I have edited two books, and published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles and 35 book chapters.

Research Summary
I have an academic interest in Uro-Neurology and Pelvic neurology and my clinical research into understanding the neural control of the lower urinary tract and the neurological basis for bladder and sexual dysfunction following inflammatory, degenerative and traumatic disorders of the nervous system and their management is supported by external grants.
Current areas of research:
• Melatonin for the treatment of Nocturia in adults with Parkinson’s disease
• A magnetic resonance imaging study evaluating the central control of lower urinary tract functions in patients with neurogenic and idiopathic overactive bladder
• STARTUP (Stimulation of the Tibial Nerve – A randomised trial for urinary problems associated with Parkinson’s)
• Pelvic neurophysiology and urodynamics findings in patients with MOG positive Transverse Myelitis
• Sexual dysfunction in women with neurological disorders
• Sensitivity of intracellular sodium accumulation to tissue damage in spinal cord injury: a multi-parameter study
• Exploring the relationship between sexual trauma and lower urinary tract symptoms
• Exploring psychological co-morbidities in women with Urinary retention
• Exploring the clinical relevance of sacral Tarlov cysts- pelvic neurophysiology and urodynamics study
• Exploring voiding dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease
Teaching Summary
Co-Convenor of the Motor system module for the MSc Clinical Neurology and MSc Clinical Neuroscience course at UCL. I am also a course committee member of the MSc Clinical Neurology course, and lecture on the MSc Clinical Neurology, MSc Clinical Neuroscience and MSc Stroke Medicine courses. I am involved in PhD supervision of students at UCL and other universities, and serve as the Departmental Graduate Tutor for the Department of Brain Repair and Rehabilitation at the Institute or Neurology, Queen Square.
