Biography:

My present clinical practice is mainly Upper Limb based including upper limb trauma. I also do general trauma, Polytrauma and Paediatric on-calls. I specialise in Shoulders, Elbow, Wrist and Hands and complex Upper Limb Trauma.

I have been involved in Medico legal Practice since April 2014 and have attended Bond Solon Courses.

I have been dealing with cases involving injury at work, whiplash, upper limb disorders of shoulder, elbow and wrist and hand. I am specifically instructed for complex upper limb injuries.

Given my background as the Director and Head of the University Orthopaedic Department at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee and a Clinical Professor at the University of Dundee, my reports are generally supported by evidence which solicitors find extremely helpful.

I do clinics in mainly in Dundee and Inverness. I do have some slots available when needed for urgent reports.
