I am a Consultant Plastic, Burns, and Reconstructive Surgeon with extensive experience in burns surgery, complex trauma, microsurgery, reconstructive procedures, and scar management.

My clinical work includes the management of acute burns, plastic surgery trauma, soft tissue injuries, skin grafting, and complex reconstruction, with a particular focus on lower limb trauma and abdominal wall reconstruction.

I hold a substantive consultant appointment at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Queen’s Medical Centre, where I am also an Honorary Consultant Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham, School of Medicine.

I am a core member of the Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Multidisciplinary Team, contributing to advanced reconstructive planning.

I have a strong background in microsurgery, nerve repair, flap reconstruction, and skin grafting, ensuring optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients with severe trauma, burns, or surgical defects.

My expertise in scar management includes the treatment of hypertrophic scars, keloids, post-burn contractures, and post-surgical scarring.

I have extensive experience in medico-legal reporting, preparing expert witness reports on burns injuries, plastic surgery trauma, and medical negligence cases. While I provide condition and prognosis reports,

I have a particular focus on breach of duty, negligence, and causation reports. My reports comply with Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Part 35, and I have completed Bond Solon’s Excellence in Report Writing.

I provide independent expert opinions for claimant and defendant solicitors, barristers, insurers, the police, and coroners’ inquests.

Areas include: 

Burns mismanagement – Delayed or inadequate treatment leading to scarring, infection, or functional impairment

Plastic surgery errors – Failures in surgical technique, planning, or post-operative care resulting in poor outcomes or complications

Failure to diagnose or treat burns injuries – Inadequate assessment or delayed treatment leading to wound deterioration, sepsis, or long-term disability

Complications following reconstructive surgery – Failures in flap survival, graft integration, or wound healing

Post-operative infections – Preventable infections due to poor surgical hygiene, inadequate wound care, or failure to recognise early signs of infection

Scar mismanagement – Poor treatment of hypertrophic scars, keloids, contractures, and post-surgical scarring

Microsurgical failures – Errors in nerve repair, revascularisation, or soft tissue transfer leading to functional impairment

Failure to identify and manage nerve injuries – Delayed or inadequate treatment of traumatic or surgical nerve damage

Negligence in trauma-related soft tissue repair – Poor surgical outcomes in complex limb injuries requiring reconstructive procedures
