I earned my PhD from UCL, focusing on treating genetic blood disorders with stem cells and gene therapy for the fetus. I undertook comprehensive specialty and subspecialty training in Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Maternal and Fetal Medicine. I eventually joined King's College London and King's College Hospital as a Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant. Multiple research grants have generously funded my work, and I've received accolades for my conference presentations. I have also served in various management and committee roles, further enriching my professional portfolio.
As a Maternal and Fetal Medicine Consultant at King's College Hospital, my daily clinical practice is highly specialized, covering a range of complex fetal medicine cases, fetal urology, gestational diabetes, hypertension in pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, fetal cardiology, genetics, and perinatal pathology. This diverse blend of clinical, research, and leadership experience positions me as an expert in my field, capable of handling various maternal and fetal health challenges.
I was introduced to the medicolegal field in 2022 when I organised a study day on 'Litigation in Obstetrics and informed consent' featuring Ms Nadine Montgomery at the Royal Society of Medicine. This was part of my role in the Maternity and Newborn Forum at the Royal Society. Since March 2023, I've been involved in drafting medicolegal reports.
