Biography
MB ChB University of Leicester 1993
MRCP UK 1999
PhD University of Sheffield 2001
CCT Cardiology 2005
Following medical school I did house jobs in Leicester, which was my first cardiology post. I spent a year in London before moving north to Sheffield to complete SHO jobs, start my cardiology training and spend 3 years getting my PhD.
I became fascinated by the specialty of congenital heart disease and spent a short period of time at The Heart Hospital in London before embarking on sub-specialty training in ACHD in Leeds.
I was appointed as a consultant in Leeds in 2006.
