Experience:
I am currently a Substantive Consultant in Respiratory Medicine at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT), a position I have held since 2018. I am also a member of the Medical Leadership in Practice programme at Manchester University and the Northwest Deanery.
I have contributed to multiple published case reports, including as second author in Clinical Medicine (2013) on a case of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) pneumonia, and as first author in BMJ Case Reports (2011) on Swyer–James–McLeod’s syndrome complicated by pneumothorax.
In addition to clinical work, I have actively participated in several research trials such as the COVID RECOVERY Trial at ELHT (April 2020), the TAPPS Trial (June 2014), and the IPC plus Trial (May 2014) at Royal Preston Hospital. I also led a study on the ‘pleural biopsy success rate with coaxial needle’, which was submitted to the Winter BTOG conference in 2012, and co-authored a study on pleurodesis success rates in day case versus inpatient settings.
