Professional profile/background:
|
I was awarded my medical degree with commendation and graduated
from the University of Aberdeen in 2000. Thereafter undertook core
medical training in the West of Scotland, followed by a British
Heart Foundation Clinical PhD Scholarship to study cardiac
electrophysiology at the University of Glasgow. I then completed my
Cardiology specialist training in the West of Scotland, with
subspecialty training in Cardiac Electrophysiology in the National
Heart and Lung Centre at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in
Glasgow. After completing specialist training, I then moved to
Australia where I worked for 2 years under the tutelage of world
renowned Professor Jonathan Kalman as a Clinical Fellow in Cardiac
Electrophysiology and Pacing at Royal Melbourne Hospital. I was
appointed as a Consultant in the Bristol Heart Institute in
November 2014. I continue to have a very active role in teaching of
undergraduate medical students as an Honorary Senior Clinical
Lecturer at the University of Bristol and as Lead for Cardiology
Undergraduate Training for South Bristol Academy.
