I am a Skeletal Trauma Radiologist for the Leeds Trauma Centre, Spinal Radiologist for the Yorkshire Regional Spine Centre and Radiology Lead for the Leeds Limb Reconstruction MDT. My specialist interest areas are spinal radiology, musculoskeletal trauma and musculoskeletal interventional radiology.

Recent clinical advisory roles include working with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) on the interventional radiology treatment for painful spinal metastases, producing guidelines for the European Society of Skeletal Radiology (ESSR) on musculoskeletal interventional techniques, and working with NHS England to formulate the national cauda equina pathway.

I regularly speak at national and international radiology conferences and am the founder of the British Spinal Intervention Course.

I have been undertaking medicolegal practice for 8 years and currently I produce approximately 50 reports per year. My work is approximately a 70-30 ratio of claimant:defendant and comprises of all types of clinical negligence work, this includes all aspects of musculoskeletal radiology. To date, I have never been required to attend court.
