I have set up a multidisciplinary team with colorectal and urology and pain team specialist. Qualifications MBBS (University of Burdwan, India) FRCOG (RCOG, London) Diploma in Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopy, University of Surrey Masters (MCh) of Surgery in Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery, Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge. I have trained in advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic and robotic surgery in benign gynaecology. I completed Diploma in Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopy from University of Surrey in 2010. I am also trained in robotic surgery and completed Masters of Surgery in Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery from Anglia Ruskin University in 2015. I was awarded a fellowship (FRCOG) from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) in London. I am trained in performing gynaecological ultrasound and have received accreditation from RCOG. I am the Divisional Research Lead at University Hospital of North Midlands. I am the Lead /Chief investigator for single centre (UHNM) randomised controlled trial – laparoscopic excision/ablation of mild to moderate endometriosis with helium thermal coagulation compared with electro-diathermy: a randomised controlled trial. This has been funded by National Institute of Health Research (Research for patient benefits). This is a 3 year study (started in February 2014). The total funding received is £236000. UKCRN ID 15332. We have recruited 87 patients and majority have had a laparoscopic intervention. We have consistently met our recruitment targets. This study has attracted patients from outside the county. I provide training in advanced gynaecological laparoscopy, surgical management of endometriosis and advanced hysteroscopic surgery. I am a co-investigator for the MEDAL study (CLRN portfolio). This is a multi-centre RCT comparing laparoscopy and MRI for diagnosis of pelvic pain. I have actively participated in recruiting patients and performing laparoscopies. I am co-investigator for the FEMME (treating fibroids with embolization or myomectomy to measure the effect on QoL). I have recruited patients and been involved in performing laparoscopic myomectomies. I am the principal investigator for PRECISE study. This is a commercial study evaluating the use of Ullipristal Acetate (ESMYA) in treating fibroids. I am the principal investigator for RESPONSE study at UHNM. This is a commercial study in collaboration with Birmingham Trials Unit. This is a randomised, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NT100, in pregnant women with a history of unexplained recurrent miscarriage.
