Trained in UK and Canada in Paediatric Orthopaedics, Consultant at Southampton University Hospital since 2003
Head of department from 2017. Moved to UAE in 2019. Consultant in paediatric Orthopaedics at SKMC since 2023
I have trained with World experts in paediatric orthopaedics including Mr A Catterall and Prof N Clarke in UK and Profs. J Wright and B Cole in Canada. Returning to the UK I took up a consultant post in paediatric orthopaedics in Southampton University Hospital, a 1300 bed center in the south of England with 8 colleagues specializing in different aspects of paediatrics orthopaedics (along with 30 adult orthopaedic consultants). I developed a subspeciality clinic for orthopaedic upper limb problems in children, which I ran along with an adult upper limb surgeon, for 16 years and became the main focus of my practice as our service expanded with more subspecialists in our department from 4 in 2003 to 9 by the time I left in 2019. I also ran a limb deformity clinic using circular frames to correct upper and lower limb deformity where necessary. I ran a Ponseti club foot clinic and a baby hip screening clinic as well as more general clinics in trauma and orthopaedics for children. I also offered hip replacement in teenagers, usually after treatment for leukaemia along with other causes of unsalvageable hip damage.
