ENT consultants

I have worked for Ipswich Hospital for 20 years, specialising in tumours of the head, neck and thyroid. I trained in Birmingham.

I have worked for the Trust since August 2004.

I have been an ENT Consultant in Colchester since 1999. I studied medicine at Queens’ College Cambridge and the University of Cambridge Medical School. I undertook my ENT training in London, Cambridge and Norwich.

I specialise in conditions of the auditory system, particularly tinnitus. I am a Trustee of the UK’s main tinnitus charity, the British Tinnitus Association and have co-authored tinnitus textbooks and a self-help book for people with tinnitus and hyperacusis.

As of 2018 I have been an ENT Consultant in Colchester for 22 years.

I qualified from Bart’s in 1984 and trained in ENT at Bart’s Hospital, The Royal London Hospital, The Royal Liverpool Hospital, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and obtained a Rhinology/Otology fellowship at the KKR ENT Institute, Chennai.

I am co-author of Key Topics in ENT, now in its 3rd edition. I specialise in Rhinology (nose and sinus problems) and Otology (ear problems).

I have over 20 years’ experience in ENT surgery with special expertise in nasal allergy and Endoscopic Sinus Surgery where I have performed over 1,000 procedures. I have written several publications on this type of surgery in peer review journals.

I am the only surgeon who performs Balloon Sinoplasty technique in Ipswich and Suffolk. I have wide experience in rhinoplasty surgery for improvement of nose deformities and have performed several hundred procedures.

I am in charge of the Voice Clinic at Ipswich Hospital where I treat patients with voice disorders in conjunction with speech therapists. I spent eight years in a senior management post in Ipswich Hospital and was responsible for seven surgical specialties.

I am the past President of the British Society of Otology and past President of the Section of Otology, Royal Society of Medicine.

I have conducted courses on ear surgery, sinus surgery and tear duct surgery. I run a tertiary referral practice in otology and a dedicated balance clinic.
