Who We Are

I trained in medicine at St.Andrews and Manchester University. I completed my postgraduate training in Gastroenterology in Edinburgh and UCLA, Los Angeles, USA. I am an accredited Specialist in gastroenterology. I have been a consultant at the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh since 2003 and am an honorary senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. I deal with a broad range of gastrointestinal disorders including inflammatory bowel disease, and other diarrhoeal conditions, gastrointestinal bleeding and upper GI cancer. I have an interest in endoscopic techniques including colonoscopy and video capsule endoscopy. I have active interests in teaching and research, particularly in the cause and treatment of gastrointestinal inflammation.

In addition to my clinical and academic interests I have a number of local and national roles in Gastroenterology, including:

• Scottish representative, National IBD standards group
• Secretary, MRCP(UK) speciality question group in Gastroenterology
• Scottish Lead, RCP/BSG national audit of inflammatory bowel disease
• BSG clinical trials group member
