I developed an interest in ENT early in my career largely because of the great variety of conditions and the wide age ranges of the patients.
I became interested in the ear after carrying out many anatomical dissections of the temporal bone some of which won prizes.
Since working in Darlington my main interest has been in chronic middle ear disease particularly the surgery of cholesteatoma.
I have an extensive experience in mastoid surgery.
I have developed some new techniques some of which have been published and continue to enjoy the challenges that this surgery presents.
My other main interest is in the management of deafness in children.
