BIO 

For over 25 years, as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in various roles and hospitals, I strived to play a pivotal role in shaping the quality and the future of women's healthcare in Greater Manchester and beyond. Currently, I am Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist for the Northern Care Alliance in Greater Manchester. I have carried out thousands of procedures, improving the quality of life, health and every-day comfort to women sometimes facing complex medical conditions, high-risk factors, or obstetric and gynaecological complications. My work involves medical examination, diagnosis and management of care, ensuring the well-being and access to the highest standards of care and treatments. But above all I am a husband and a father, and I relate to my patients in a personal, caring manner, to ensure the comfort and clarity throughout the whole patient journey.

Over the years I thoroughly enjoyed providing leadership within multidisciplinary teams,  ensuring the highest standards of care for women and maintaining of excellence in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Some of my roles include: the Lead gynaecologist in Greater Manchester Clinical Assessment and Treatment Centres (CATS), Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and the Lead Consultant for Gynaecological Oncology and Coloscopy services and  a member of the endometriosis centre team at the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, the Lead for gynaecological oncology at Rochdale Infirmary. For many years, I led Rochdale’s NHS colposcopic services reviewing cases with abnormal cervical smear findings.

Through my dedication to stay abreast of the latest innovations and advancements within Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Surgery, I have continuously trained and enhanced my skillset, and was accredited for colposcopy (BSCCP), have undertaken an advanced training in gynaecological ultrasonography and certified in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery (RCOG) to name a few. In 2016 I was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal College of Obstetricians (FRCOG) and I hold memberships of several professional organisations, which include, The British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE), European Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), and the British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology BSCCP. And, of course, I am registered with the General Medical Council (GMC), holding a License to Practice in the UK.

My deep commitment to excellence and innovation led me to gaining great experience in undertaking major abdominal, vaginal, and laparoscopic surgery, as well as cosmetic gynaecological procedures. I am especially interested in colposcopy, gynaecological oncology, and minimal access surgery, but I specialise also in labiaplasty, vaginoplasty and vaginal prolapse procedures as well as treatment for ovarian cysts, heavy menstrual loss and pelvic pain. My other skills and expertise include a number of gynaecological subspecialties, such as female sterilisation reversal, oophorectomy, and menopause.  

Training my colleagues in undertaking the Advanced Training Skill modules at The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, such as Colposcopy, Gynaecological Oncology, Laparoscopic and Benign Abdominal Surgery, has been a great honour and pleasure. I believe that sharing knowledge, expertise, skills, and resources is paramount in ensuring the delivery of the best possible patient-centred care, to save and improve lives. As a specialist registrar at The Teaching Hospital of the University of Cambridge, early in my practice, I have learned the importance of working together to contribute to the continuous improvement, as well as making significant contributions to research in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. With that in mind I have regularly submitted peer review and assessments to the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.  Several of my clinical papers have been published and accredited.

I am delighted to oversee and provide the comprehensive care of our diverse local community and equally welcome and appreciate all national and international patients too. In my private practice I see my patients face-to-face, via telephone or e-consultations, for gynaecological reviews and interventions at different private organisations in Cheadle, Rochdale, Salford, and Wythenshawe (The Alexandra Hospital, The Highfield Hospital, the Oaklands Hospital, and The Pines Hospital and more).
