I am a Consultant Gynaecologist and Minimal Access Surgeon at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, where I co-lead the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE)-accredited Endometriosis Centre. With a strong commitment to advancing women’s health, I specialise in the diagnosis and management of complex gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, pelvic pain, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and menstrual dysfunction. My clinical practice is rooted in a holistic, patient-centred approach, offering a full spectrum of evidence-based treatment options, from conservative and medical therapies to advanced surgical interventions and research-led care.

I am passionate about empowering women to make informed decisions about their health. I provide comprehensive management plans for both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal symptoms, including expert guidance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I support patients in navigating the wide range of HRT options, including testosterone replacement and newer therapies that may not be readily available in all NHS settings, to ensure they receive the most appropriate and effective care.

My surgical expertise lies in advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) and minimal access techniques, with a particular focus on all stages of endometriosis. I regularly perform total laparoscopic hysterectomies, laparoscopic myomectomies, and cystectomies, aiming to minimise recovery time and optimise outcomes. I also offer hysteroscopic procedures and have extensive experience managing menstrual disorders such as heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, and premenstrual symptoms.

In addition to my clinical role, I serve as the NIHR Research Lead for Women’s Health in Yorkshire and Humber, helping to shape the regional research agenda and promote innovation in gynaecological care. I am also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Leeds, where I am actively involved in teaching and mentoring medical students and resident doctors. My academic interests include surgical simulation training and translational research in endometriosis, with a focus on improving diagnostic pathways and patient outcomes.

I am a member of the BSGE Laparoscopic Portfolio Committee, where I contribute to the national training of gynaecologists in advanced laparoscopic techniques. I hold dual postgraduate qualifications in surgery (MRCS) and obstetrics and gynaecology (MRCOG). My specialist training was based in the North-East of England, where I worked in leading endometriosis centres at Newcastle and South Tees Hospitals. I also hold an MD in Molecular Biology of Cancer from Newcastle University, which has enriched my clinical perspective and supports my personalised approach to care.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their care. Whether managing chronic pelvic pain, menstrual issues, or exploring surgical options, I am committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care tailored to each individual’s needs and values.

Beyond my clinical work, I actively contribute to regional and national initiatives aimed at improving women’s health services. I remain engaged in professional development, research, and collaboration to stay at the forefront of advances in gynaecological surgery and reproductive health.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children, who keep me busy and grounded. I love walking in the Yorkshire Dales, gardening, and skiing, activities that help me recharge and stay connected to nature and family life.
