About

I am a Consultant Haematologist specialising in blood and bone marrow conditions. I diagnose and treat a wide range of disorders, including both cancerous and non‑cancerous conditions.

I provide private care at Nuffield Health Derby Hospital. I also work in the NHS at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton.

My aim is to provide clear, personalised care and support you throughout your treatment.

I qualified in medicine in 1990. I then completed specialist training in haematology and pathology in London at King’s College Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital.

I also hold a Master’s degree in Medical Leadership. Alongside my clinical work, I have held senior leadership roles within the NHS.

I have served as a Regional Advisor for the Royal College of Pathologists and as a Trustee for the British Society for Haematology.

Areas of expertise

I diagnose and treat a wide range of blood conditions, including:

  • Blood cancers, such as myeloma, leukaemia and lymphoma
  • Blood clotting disorders (thrombosis)
  • Anaemia (low red blood cells)
  • Bone marrow disorders
  • Other general blood conditions

I provide care for both simple and complex cases.

Specialist services

I offer a range of investigations and treatments, including:

  • Diagnosis and monitoring of blood disorders
  • Management of blood clots and bleeding conditions
  • Treatment plans for blood cancers
  • Ongoing care for long‑term blood conditions

I combine laboratory expertise with direct patient care to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

My approach

I believe in providing compassionate, patient‑centred care. I will explain your condition and treatment options clearly so you can make informed decisions.

My goal is to help you feel informed, reassured and supported throughout your care.
