I have been a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Birmingham Children's Hospital for 10 years. I qualified in dentistry in 1990 and medicine in 1997. I was awarded the fellowship in dental surgery (RCS Edin) in 1994 and the fellowship in surgery (RCS Eng) in 1999. I trained in a number of units in the UK and was a craniofacial fellow in Birmingham Children's Hospital before completing my paediatric maxillofacial fellowship in The Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital, Australia. I was appointed as a consultant in 2005 and my specialist areas of interest include adult and paediatric facial deformity.
