Biography
I began my career as a veterinary surgeon, qualifying from the University of Bristol in 2005 and working in mixed practice in rural Devon & Somerset. In 2007 I came to St Peter’s College to study Graduate Entry Medicine. I am now an anaesthetic registrar in the Oxford Deanery having completed foundation training in Brighton & London. In 2016 I came back to Oxford, took time out of clinical training and completed a DPhil at Wadham College with Professor Andrew Farmery and Dr Federico Formenti in the Respiratory Physiology & Biomedical Engineering Group.
Research
My research investigates novel techniques to interrogate cardiorespiratory physiology and looks at the application of those techniques to clinical medicine. One of these methods uses fluorescence quenching to measure the partial pressure of oxygen in blood.
Teaching
Here at Exeter I am responsible for teaching clinical medical students. Along with the team of Clinical Teaching Associates, we use bedside teaching to prepare students for their examinations and teach them how to interpret and investigate symptoms and signs.
