Bio

I am a Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine who has worked at Isokinetic London, since 2015. Alongside this I have worked in professional football in the UK for over 6 seasons, as club doctor with Charlton Athletic Football Club and Leyton Orient Football Club.

I have a wealth of experience in managing sports injuries, in both elite and non-elite athletes and specialise in non-surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions. I am passionate about using exercise as a treatment to recover from musculoskeletal injury and medical conditions. I have worked closely with our Head of International to develop strong relationships for international patients visiting London.

I am qualified in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound and I have also undergone further training in biomechanics and kinetic assessment. Supporting patients through being active is a method I promote in their recovery.

I graduated in Medicine in 2007 from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne and underwent training in General Practice. I moved to London in 2013 and completed a Master’s degree in Sports Medicine, Exercise and Health from University College London in 2015. Subsequently I have been awarded a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) in Sport and Exercise Medicine and I am fellow of the Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine.

I am the clinical supervisor for Sport and Exercise Medicine trainees at Isokinetic London.
