In 2019 I was awarded the title of Hon. Professor in Cardiac Surgery. I am a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Cardiac Surgery & Senior Research Associate from the University of Oxford since 2015. I am a Clinical Governor for Oxford University Hospitals NHS FT and member of the Adult Cardiac Comittee for the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons of Uk & Ireland. I have past and present affiliations with the Universities of Oxford, Buckingham, Anglia Ruskin and Cumbria. I finished my surgical training in England and I specialised in cardiothoracic surgery within the East London Rotation (NTN – Royal Brompton, St. Mary’s, St Bartholomew’s & London Chest Hospitals). I gained my PhD in 1999 and I undertook a fellowship along side Prof. Tirone David at Toronto, Canada, where I sub-specialised in advanced aortic repairs and reconstructive cardiac surgery. I tend to favour minimally access, cosmetic approaches for the performance of all regular cardiac surgical procedures. My team and I use techniques to minimize surgical trauma in the majority of our cardiac operations. My philosophy is based on providing surgical, medical and humanitarian services of the highest standards. I believe in the development of quality health services and devote much of my time making sure that my patients receive what they are entitled to: effective medical and surgical care, safety, dignity and respect.
