Consultant Geriatrician

I have been a member of the Trainee and Members Committee while a registrar including being Vice Chair for representation in this group. Through this I have also been vice chair for the Scottish Academy Junior Doctors group. I also worked with the college for a year as a Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellow looking at recruitment and retention of trainees. Currently I am in the Recently Appointed Consultants committee and an active member of the college. 

I enjoy being involved in the role of the college both locally and internationally. The college can have a really positive effect on policy, training and public health that is not always well recognised.

I am a respiratory and general medicine physician with a specialist interest in pleural disease, advanced pleural procedures and point of care imaging. I am also developing a burgeoning interest in clinical research, particularly within pleural disease.

I am lucky enough to work with some excellent colleagues and have a firm belief that working collaboratively with other disciplines helps us innovate and better serve our patients.
