I am a Consultant in Pain Medicine currently based in Hertfordshire.
My NHS practice is at Lister Hospital.

I became a consultant in 2012 after completing specialist training in Pain Medicine at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.

In my day-to-day NHS practice, I see people living with a wide range of chronic pain conditions.

Persistent pain arises from a complex interaction between biological, psychological, and social mechanisms. For this reason, there is often a wide range of professional opinion regarding how pain should be managed.

Patients are commonly referred to my pain clinic following assessment by other medical or surgical specialties. In many cases, a definitive diagnosis may not have been identified, a cure may not be available, or a non-surgical approach has been agreed.

Within my pain clinic, the role is therefore not to establish a new diagnosis, but to focus on symptom management, activity modification, functional improvement, and improving quality of life.

This website will, over time, provide general information about pain-related conditions and approaches to pain management.

The information provided is for general educational purposes only and does not constitute personalised medical advice.

Anyone seeking individual advice should consult a local Pain Medicine specialist through the appropriate NHS or alternative healthcare pathway.
