I am on the Specialist register for Plastic Surgery and have developed on my interests in cosmetic surgery, focusing on the head & neck procedures only. I enjoy teaching and research, stemming from 2006. This includes separate MD and PhD in translational research using stem cells for nerve regeneration in animal models alongside being a course director and member of faculty on national courses.
Undertaking the PhD has taught in me the vital skills of focus, organisation, planning and perseverance in addition to multiple international presentations, publications and prizes.
