Professional profile
My origins are evident in the fact that I have not been able to avoid the curse of supporting my home town team Wolverhampton Wanderers. I temporarily escaped the midlands, migrating north to Leeds where I qualified and worked for some time as a junior doctor.
Deciding to do respiratory medicine I returned to the midlands and undertook a period of research in Nottingham with Professor Tattersfield and her team resulting in a MD award in 1997. Following this I continued my clinical training career, working in Nottingham, Derby and Auckland (New Zealand).
In 2000 I was appointed to a respiratory medicine post in Derby, moving to the nationally renowned Glenfield Hospital in 2004 where I am now Head of Service.
During my time at Glenfield I have developed local anaesthetic thoracoscopy, transbronchial needle aspiration, endobronchial ultrasound and autofluorescent bronchoscopy with results comparable to large international case series reports.
