profile |
|
I graduated from the University of Manchester in 1993
having completed my Medical Science BSc at the University of St Andrews.
Although most of my general medical and surgical training was in the
North of England, my general gynaecology training was obtained in
Nottingham, London and finally Leeds. My interest in women's cancer led
me to undertake research in this area and I successfully completed a
doctorate thesis at the University of Cambridge in 2004, leading to the
award of PhD. This research assisted the development of gene array
technology in Cambridge and the discovery of a new potential treatment
for cancer of the womb. I subsequently returned to Leeds where I
completed my specialist training in gynaecological cancer surgery and
obtained accreditation in laparoscopic surgery. I was appointed at St
James Hospital in 2006 as a subspecialty consultant member of the
gynaecological cancer centre. I have been influential in the
development of minimally invasive surgery and the colposcopy service at
St James. |
