I am currently a Consultant Respiratory Physician at Derriford Hospital, University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust where I have been the pleural service lead since 2017, RCP(L) College Tutor for Internal Medicine Training since 2018, and service line clinical director for respiratory medicine since 2021. I completed my undergraduate training at Oxford in 2005 before going on to train in respiratory medicine in the Thames Valley region, including four years as a clinical research fellow at the University of Oxford Respiratory Trials Unit where I undertook my DM thesis on novel clinical uses of thoracic ultrasound and coordinated a multinational, multicentre observational study of adult pleural infection (PILOT). I have been based at Derriford Hospital since 2017, maintaining clinical and academic interests in pleural disease, lung cancer, and point-of-care thoracic ultrasound.
