I am a qualified as a consultant cardiologist in the United Kingdom, having undertaken cardiology training in the East of England at Royal Papworth Hospital. I will shortly be taking up a permanent position as an interventional cardiologist in Liverpool, UK.
At present, I am undertaking additional training in advanced coronary and structural intervention at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, in British Columbia, Canada. This includes further training in:
- advanced imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
- rotational atherectomy (rotablation) and laser atherectomy
- treatment of complex coronary disease including multi vessel disease and left main stem disease
- chronic total occlusions
- transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI)
- left atrial appendage occlusion
Upon my return to the UK, I hope to be undertaking many of these interventions as part of my ongoing practice.
