As a Consultant Anaesthetist at Macclesfield, patient safety and postoperative well-being define my practice. Recognising anaesthesia can be daunting, I offer a gentle, personalised, and pain‑free approach from initial consultation through to recovery. Beyond clinical care, I serve as Resuscitation Lead and Safe Transfer of Critically Ill Patients Lead, and manage a private anaesthetists’ group. I am privileged to be a founding member of AAPOUKI (now 195 senior anaesthetists worldwide) and continue to hold office.
