My training in Dentistry, Medicine, and General Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery has all been within the United Kingdom with a sabbatical period in the United States. I have chaired paediatric maxillofacial surgery courses and contributed to over 85 courses, over 120 lectures and demonstrations in the United Kingdom, Europe and internationally. I have been involved in over 35 publications/book chapters.

Since January 2020 I have had the honour of being the President of the Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group (SORG). This is a worldwide research and education group. We deliver numerous courses to train surgeons for the future and also try and carry out research between different centres to promote further health improvements. I will also be the President of the European Society of TMJ Surgeons from 2022 and this is also indeed a great honour. Currently I am working as the lead for the United Kingdom, via the British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, in trying to develop better treatment across the country for temporomandibular disorders.

As can be seen from the above I am actively involved in training and education and research. Previous positions of responsibility have included being the training programme director for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in my region as well as the Divisional Educational Lead for the Oxford University Hospitals Trust in my division. I have been an advanced trauma and life support faculty member and an advanced paediatric life support instructor. I have been in the past a tutor for the Royal College of Surgeons of England and Chairman of the local specialty training committee for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. In addition, I have been the Clinical Director for departments in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

The units I currently work within offer the full range of Oral and Maxillofacial services and at various times I have been an integral member of the units offering temporomandibular disorder treatments, managing salivary gland disease and trauma in both adults and children. In particular I provide a TMJ service involving joint reconstruction in both children and adults utilising biological methods and alloplastic techniques.

I was first appointed as a consultant in September 2003 following comprehensive training in oral and maxillofacial surgery including dual qualifications in medicine and dentistry and fellowships in dental surgery, general surgery, and maxillofacial surgery.

I am registered with the General Medical Council and I am a member of the British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons and of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. I am also a member of the British and European Associations of Temporomandibular Joint Surgeons.

My ethos for care has always been based on trying to treat patients in a collaborative fashion and to deliver quality care with both integrity and kindness.

In my spare time I try and relax by watching good thriller films and I am a keen runner having competed in several marathons.
