Profile

For enquiries please contact - SMPH-West-Operational@sheffield.ac.uk

I qualified from the University of Sheffield in 1997. Following basic surgical training in Sheffield I performed research in the field of prostate cancer metastasis towards an MD thesis at the University of Sheffield. I undertook urological training within the Yorkshire and Humber deanery and was appointed as a consultant urologist in 2013. In 2016 I commenced work as a senior university teacher and also work as a consultant urologist at Chesterfield Royal Hospital. I oversee the prescribing and pharmacology strand within the MBChB course.

Teaching interests

Prescribing and medication safety, Urology

Teaching activities

In foundation clinical skills I teach on how to examine the GI/GU system as well as on how to take a medication history/prescribing.

In Phase 3b and Phase 4 I teach on prescribing, drug errors and prescribing safety assessment preparation.

I am keen to incorporate prescribing learning into all clinical encounters for student doctors.

Professional activities and memberships

I currently oversee the pharmacology and prescribing strand which spans the whole MBChB course and I am academic lead for the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) in Sheffield. I am a question writer and peer reviewer for the PSA.
