THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR DERMATOPATHOLOGY

I trained at Birmingham Medical School and undertook junior doctor training in the West Midlands and Bedfordshire, passing the Membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health examination.

I undertook Specialist training in Dermatology on the West Midlands rotation from 2003-7.

I undertook additional training in Dermatopathology (Skin Histopathology) during my Dermatology training. I am one of very few Dermatologists successfully passing the Diploma in Dermatopathology examination (set at expert level), and one of even fewer (<5) UK Dermatologists regularly reporting Skin Histopathology cases as part of routine clinical work.

I previously worked as a Consultant Dermatologist in the W Midlands, at University Hospital Birmingham from 2007-9 and Consultant Paediatric Dermatologist at Birmingham Children's Hospital from 2007-13. In 2013, I gave up sessions at Univ Hospital Birmingham to work as Consultant Dermatopathologist at Univ Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

We made a family move to Dorset in 2013 where I took up a split post as Consultant Dermatologist (and Clinical Lead) and Consultant Dermatopathologist at Dorset County Hospital, allowing me to combine my professional interests.
