Personal profile
Overview
Senior Clinical Lecturer in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Honorary Consultant in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust)
Research interests
The aim for my research is to complement my clinical interests in plastic surgery, in particular surgical reconstruction following trauma and disease. I am examining novel interventions in clinical and pre-clinical models of peripheral nerve injury and wound healing.
