I am a senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon specialising in the management of all types of skin cancer. I work within the NHS at Oxford and Reading but also in the private sector based from The Forbury Clinic, Reading. I deal with localised straight forward lesions and complex metastatic disease. I have over 20 years of experience in the specialty having trained mainly in the UK, but also in New Zealand and Australia in this field. I work closely with colleagues from other specialties to achieve the best balanced care for patients with this condition. I am a member of the Thames Valley Skin Cancer Network advisory team for the management of Skin Cancer. I regularly lecture to Patient groups on Self surveillance and sun protection with respect to the diagnosis of Melanoma. I am a member of the National Group; Melanoma Focus.
