I returned to West Hertfordshire Hospitals as a consultant surgeon in 2015, joining the emergency general surgery team on the Emergency Surgical Assessment Unit, and was appointed as the clinical lead for the unit in 2017. I was appointed the clinical governance lead for the Department of General Surgery for a three-year term between 2016 and 2019. In 2020, I was appointed the Royal College of Surgeons Tutor for Trust and hold this position to date. I am an accredited meditation teacher and promote mindfulness among staff members in an additional role as Trust Wellbeing Champion.
My research interests include training and the assessment of technical skill in surgery, this was also the subject of my MD thesis.
