biography
I am a general and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) surgeon currently working in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary regional UGI cancer resection unit. I have been trained in the West of Scotland and have completed a fellowship in laparoscopic upper gastrointestinal surgery and advanced endoscopy in the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong. My current practice includes UGI resection surgery, laparoscopic bariatric surgery, emergency biliary surgery including laparoscopic bile duct exploration and benign UGI surgery such as laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery. I regularly perform colonoscopy, gastroscopy, ERCP and therapeutic endoscopy (including endoscopic laser therapy and stenting for UGI cancer palliation). During my fellowship, I have also learned advanced endoscopic techniques including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). I have visited Zhong Shan Hospital, Shanghai, one of the largest centres in the world performing ESD and POEM, to further my knowledge and exposure to these advanced endoscopic techniques.Throughout my training, I have regularly participated in research. I have published in various peer reviewed journals and presented in international conferences. During my PhD, I have developed a special interest in flexible robotic surgery and have developed a prototype of my own robotic endoscopic platform. I am an editorial board member of the Journal of Robotic Surgery. I am also a reviewer for other medical and engineering journals and a grant reviewer for the Central Commissioning Facility, National Institute of Health Research. My fellowship at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong, has also helped me appreciate the application of robotics in general surgery. As my career develops, I hope to take advantage of the engineering knowledge I have gained during my PhD to develop innovative surgical and medical technologies. I enjoy teaching medical students and help train junior medical staff
