About

I worked for many years as a full‑time Consultant Physician in Clinical Neurophysiology at Queen’s Medical Centre, University Hospital Nottingham. During this time, I was also appointed Associate Professor in the Division of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Nottingham.

In April 2022, I transitioned to full‑time private practice, continuing to offer specialist neurophysiology services for both adult and paediatric patients.

Clinical Specialties

I specialise in the investigation and interpretation of a wide range of neurophysiological studies, including:

  • Electromyography (EMG) – adults and children
  • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) – simple and complex cases
  • Single Fibre EMG (SFEMG)
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) reporting:
    • Standard EEG
    • Ambulatory EEG
    • Video‑telemetry EEG

I also have extensive experience in intra‑operative neurophysiological monitoring, particularly during:

  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) procedures
  • Spinal surgeries

I completed my specialist training in Clinical Neurophysiology in the West Midlands, rotating through several major University Hospitals, including:

  • University Hospital of North Staffordshire, Stoke‑on‑Trent
  • Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham
  • Birmingham City Hospital

Before this, I completed full training in General Internal Medicine in Jordan at Jordan University Hospital, Amman, where I was awarded:

  • Master’s Degree in Internal Medicine
  • Jordanian Board in Internal Medicine

I subsequently undertook three years of Neurology training in the UK, before progressing into higher specialist training in Clinical Neurophysiology.
