Curriculum Vitae

I was born in 1961 and went to school in Cambridge. I studied Medicine at the University of Bristol between 1979 and 1984, qualifying with MB.ChB. My post-graduate training was undertaken in Bristol and Cheltenham, gaining higher surgical qualifications in 1990 (Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons - F.R.C.S. and Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists - F.R.C.Ophth).

I completed a research Ph.D. (1994) under the auspices of Professor David Easty in the University of Bristol Department of Ophthalmology, after studying the biochemistry of eye infection.

During 1995 I undertook a Clinical Fellowship in Perth, Western Australia, working with Mr Phil House and Mr Bill Morgan (glaucoma) and Mr Geoff Crawford (corneal surgery).

I was appointed Consultant at the Bristol Eye Hospital in 1996.
