- Bachelor of Medicine (BM) June 2009
- University of Southampton Medical School
Background
I graduated from Southampton Medical School in 2009. Since then, I completed my Foundation Training in Poole Hospital. I subsequently emigrated to New Zealand where I had exposure to a wide range of surgical specialities. I undertook charity work in Malawi between returning from New Zealand and commencing my core surgical training in DCH and Sailsbury Hospital. I was successful in achieving a urology number in Wessex deanery, where I have gained a broad grounding in general urology, towards the end of my training I have developed a particular subspecialist interest in female and functional urology. I spent the last part of my training at St Richards Hospital Chichester focusing in female and functional urology.
I am currently developing a female urology service in DCH to work with the pan-Dorset urogynae MDT.
Whilst a trainee I re-formed the Wessex shadow school of surgery, and I was part of the national GIRFT team formation of national urological guidelines which have recently been published.
