I perform laparoscopic (keyhole) and open operations, colonoscopy and a large amount of minor surgery for anal conditions. My ongoing main interests are in clinical colorectal surgery and in improving outcomes in colorectal surgery. I live in Hampshire with my wife and varying numbers of our 4 children. Training I graduated with honours from University College Dublin and have two research-based degrees as well as Fellowships of the the Royal College of Surgeons and of the Royal College of  Surgeons in Ireland.
