Setting the Standard: Teaching, Training, and Giving Back
As a Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, I am honoured to be one of the few seleted as an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons, a role entrusted to those with proven clinical excellence, educational insight, and professional integrity. This appointment reflects not only my role as a key opinion in venous surgery, but a broader commitment to shaping the standards of care that future consultants will be expected to uphold.
In this capacity, I assess candidates across key milestones in their surgical careers, ensuring that competence is matched by judgement, and technical skill by ethical clarity. It’s a responsibility that few in private practice undertake — and for me, it’s more than professional distinction. Having been trained within the NHS, I remain committed to giving back through both my College work and my private practice, which is delivered within an NHS hospital setting. This allows me to reinvest in the system that shaped me, support charitable initiatives, and ensure that excellence in care remains accessible and accountable.
