Consultant Gynaecologist
& Subspecialist Urogynaecologist

I am a Consultant Gynaecologist and Subspecialist in Urogynaecology at the Jessop Wing, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, and an Honorary Professor at the University of Sheffield. I was appointed to this post in 2008 after completing two years of subspecialty training in urogynaecology, focusing on the management of vaginal prolapse (prolapse of the womb, bowel, bladder) and urinary incontinence. I lead the Urogynaecology services at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and am the Training Programme Director for the Subspecialty training in Urogynaecology at Sheffield. This is 1 of just 14 centres in the country which provides this highly specialised training.

I also lead the Perineal Trauma Service, Mesh Complication Service and the Paediatric Gynaecology services in Sheffield and work closely with a multidisciplinary team of Nurse specialists, Physiotherapists, Colorectal surgeons, Urologists, and GI Physiologists whilst supervising Research Fellows within the department. I have an interest in vulval and perineal problems (including enlarged labia and vaginal laxity) as well as problems with painful sex.

I provide a range of investigations and treatments related to the above problems at the Jessop Wing (NHS), Claremont Hospital (private only), and Thornbury Hospital in Sheffield (private only).

In addition to my busy clinical practice, I am also involved in research, teaching, and training. I have more than 150 publications in a number of areas of urogynaecology and have published widely in the area of sexual function in women with pelvic floor disorders and written four books.

Additionally, I provide expert evidence in clinical negligence and personal injury cases, within my area of specialisation, including perineal trauma, gynaecology, and urogynaecology.
