Having qualified from UCL I did my ENT training in and around London and gained my FRCS in Otolaryngology in 1984 and was appointed consultant in ENT Head & Neck Surgery in 1978.
I consult across all aspects of ENT but have a special interest in Ears, Facial Pain, Voice disorders and Snoring/Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.
I have edited the CME Journal in ENT and Clinical Focus (Primary Care). The latter for 14 years.
I set up the PG Diploma in ENT with Plymouth University to train GPSIs in ENT and continue as the programme leader for 18 years.
I was a Board Member of ENT UK and Regional Adviser for ENT Trainees as well as a Clinical Tutor.
I have advised the Department of Health on Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and had an input into its NICE guidelines.
Additional information
All aspects of ENT with a special interest in Otology, rhinology, snoring/apnoea and voice disorders.
I work with the UNRWA (UN Works and Relief Agency) in the Middle East to deliver Postgraduate Medical Training/Diplomas.
My key project is to raise the awareness of the scourge of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and get the NHS to address this disorder more effectively.
In addition to English, I speak Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and get along in French.
