I have over 30 years’ experience of treating people with varicose veins, thread veins and other vein complications such as phlebitis, varicose eczema and varicose ulcers. I grew up in Surrey, England and I went to King’s College Hospital Medical School, London. After gaining two undergraduate academic prizes and a scholarship, I was awarded First Class Honours in my BSc in Medical Physiology and Honours in my final medical degree.
As far as I am aware, I am the only doctor based in Dorset who is in full-time private practice treating people with vein problems. My wife and I founded The VeinCare Centre for the treatment of venous disease and we have gathered together an award-winning team of experts. In addition to my clinical role, in which I provide vein treatments under local anaesthetic, I am responsible for all the medical activities in the Melbury Clinic. I participate in regular business meetings, staff meetings and governance meetings. I am a member of the Medical Advisory Committee of the clinic.
I am also the nominated individual with the Care Quality Commission and I have my own appraisals with NHS England as a Responsible Officer with the General Medical Council.
