Expertise

I completed my specialist training in dermatology from the West of Scotland training programme in 2016, after which I was appointed as a consultant dermatologist in Brighton and Sussex University Hospital, based in Brighton General Hospital. 

As a general dermatologist, skin cancer clinics form an integral part of my work. I am a core member of the skin cancer multidisciplinary team. 

My areas of specialist interests include acne, rosacea, hidradenitis suppurativa, hair loss and urticaria. In my NHS role, I oversee specialist acne and urticaria clinics. I am a regional specialist in hidradenitis suppurativa covering Kent, Sussex and Surrey. I work alongside Dr Paul Farrant in the specialist regional hair clinic in Brighton.

I was the clinical lead for dermatology services in Brighton and Hove from 2019-2021. I was the southeast region representative for the British Association of Dermatologists from 2020-2023. I have been on the committee for the British Association of Medical Dermatologists. I have worked with national Hidradenitis Suppurativa advisory boards. I have been part of various HS research projects, investigating new treatments for HS.

I am a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. I am a member of the British Association of Dermatologists and the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology.

My approach

Each of my consultations has adequate time assigned to listen to all skin complaints in detail and to carry out a thorough assessment. I believe that any treatments and management options should be discussed each step of the way, to ensure the best outcome.
