Biography
I am an Honorary Consultant at Barts Health NHS Trust where I have a lymphoma practice. I trained at St John’s College, Cambridge and Imperial College, London before completing Haematology specialist training in NW London. My subsequent research focused on the microenvironment in cancer and I completed a PhD and subsequent post-doctoral research in Professor John Gribben’s group.
Since joining Barts, I have taken an active interest in clinical trials and joined the NCRI Hodgkins Lymphoma subgroup. I speak at the Lymphoma Action Management Course on relapsed Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
I am a passionate advocate of flexible working for medical staff via my dual roles as Barts Health Champion of Flexible Working and Joint Deputy Director of the Royal College of Physicians’ Medical Workforce Unit.
Over the course of my medical career, I have developed a keen interest in teaching which my role at Barts Cancer Institute has allowed me to progress. I am particularly interested in new ways of delivering teaching and also cultivating good teachers.
