I trained in Endocrinology in Sheffield, and completed my PhD on Determinants of Peak Bone Mass and Bone Size.
My clinical practice is in metabolic bone disease, especially young adults.
I am Programme Director for the Sheffield MBChB.

I completed the RCP/UCL Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Education in 2012
I am Programme Director of the undergraduate medicine degree. My teaching in the programme includes lectures and seminars on calcium physiology and metabolic bone disease.
I also lecture on several Masters programmes in the Faculty of Health.
I teach regularly on the ECTS PhD training course and Mellanby courses on bone biochemical markers and vertebral fracture.
I am a member of the RCP teaching team, and a tutor on the Doctors as Educators programme.
