I  am the Inaugural Chair of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and Professor of Rhinology at the University of Southampton. I am an Honorary Consultant ENT Surgeon with a specialist interest in Rhinology, Facial Plastics, and Allergy at University Hospital Southampton. I am trained as a general adult and paediatric ENT Surgeon.

I graduated from Nottingham University Medical School in 1994. I undertook my higher specialist surgical training in ENT in the West Midlands and Wessex deaneries. During my training, The Royal College of Surgeons of England funded me for three years (2001-2004) to carry out postgraduate basic science research into the mechanisms of inflammation in allergic rhinitis. This research was based in the Infection, Inflammation and Immunity Division of the School of Medicine at the University of Southampton. This work has culminated in a PhD which was awarded in 2005. Subsequently, I was also awarded a Hunterian Professorship of Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2006, the first such award of its kind to a UK Rhinologist.

During my final year of clinical training (2008), I undertook a sub-specialist overseas fellowship in Rhinology & Anterior Skull Base Surgery under the tutelage of Professor Wytske Fokkens at the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam. In 2008, I was awarded one of the prestigious Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) Clinical Senior Lectureships. I started my appointment as Senior Lecturer in Rhinology and Honorary Consultant ENT Surgeon at University Hospital Southampton in 2009. I now hold the position of Inaugural Chair of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Southampton, and Honorary Professor of Rhinology at University Hospital Southampton.

I am an academic surgeon with a major interest in academia, research and teaching. I am currently Head of the Southampton Upper Airway Research Group which I established in 2009.

I am the Clinical Lecture Series Module lead for Year 3 medical students, and teach on the Allergic Airways Disease Module of the Allergy MSc Course at the University of Southampton (www.som.southampton.ac.uk/allergy). I am also a faculty member on the internationally renowned Wessex Advanced Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Course held annually in Southampton (www.wessexent.co.uk).
