Professional Profile
I have been a GP since 1992 and later developed my dermatology interest, working at both Good Hope and at the Birmingham Skin Centre as well as in Community Dermatology clinics since 1994.
I took the Cardiff diploma in practical dermatology in 2011 and have subsequently been involved in teaching other GPs taking the Diploma.
I lecture on dermatology locally and nationally to GPs and other clinical groups.
I have previously been an honorary lecturer in dermatology in the department of pharmacy, Aston university.
I am happy to see any patients with dermatology problems, most types of general practice issues except Gynaecology and I also have an interest in joint injections, injecting knees, shoulders, wrists (Carpal tunnel) & various bursae.
