Background Information

About Me:

Summary

Paediatric and complex spine neurosurgeon at Addenbrookes, Cambridge with medicolegal and research interests.  I completed the FRCS (England) in April 1993. My neurosurgical training was at Newcastle General and Middlesbrough General Hospital. I was awarded FRCS Surgical Neurology in April 2000. My training was supplemented with secondments to Great Ormond Street, Montefiore Hospital, Bronx, New York and Maudsley Hospital, London.

Research interests

I spent two years in research during my training. During this I was awarded the Louis Alexander Fellowship, by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1996 and later a Hunterian Professorship.

Medicolegal experience

I have been writing legal reports since 2002, and have made several court appearances. Through my work as a Police Surgeon (1990-1994) and consultant neurosurgical practice I have a broad appreciation for the law in this context.
