Otology (ear) and Neuro-otology is my chosen area of supra-specialist interest. I am the lead otologist (paediatric and adult) at University Hospital Coventry and George Elliot Hospital, Nuneaton. I have three outpatient and three operating sessions per week. I have established a specialist monthly vertigo clinic at University Hospital Coventry. I lead the combined paediatric audiology clinic at George Elliot Hospital and University Hospital Coventry. I undertake most middle ear and external ear surgery including tympanomastoid surgery and stapes surgery. I have carried out over 1100 major ear cases. A recent audit of my stapedectomy results were similar to international experts with 94% success. A myringolplasty audit revealed 90% success. Ossiculoplasty results were on par with national standards. I undertake the new Balloon Eustachian Tube Tuboplasty procedure. I am one of the few in UK carrying out this procedure. This work is part of a research article for publication. I undertake intratympanic therapy for otological conditions (vertigo, Meniere’s disease patients). I am involved in assessment and management of patients with vertigo. I undertake combine paediatric ENT/audiology clinics with audiology and education. During my TWJ fellowship at Ann Arbor I had the opportunity to visit the Clinical Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Michigan. I visited the Causse Clinic, Beziers in autumn of 2005 (via TWJ foundation) Twice a year I organise a national Temporal Bone Dissection course. Rhinology and Facial Plastics I regularly undertake endoscopic sinus surgery in my present post. In my training I worked in specialist rhinological clinics (Mrs McGarry and Bingham). I have attended an advanced endoscopic sinus surgery course and the London Septal/Rhinoplasty course. I attended the 12th International Course in Modern Rhinoplasty Techniques in Amsterdam in 2005. I have trained in Botox, Dermal Filler and Chemical Peel therapy. I undertake Pinnaplsty in adult and children and excise cutaneous lesions from the pinna. I perform hair transplant surgery at a private clinic on a regular basis. Recently I have attended a lipolysis workshop and will provide this treatment via my private clinic. Head and Neck I undertake assessment of laryngeal and pharyngeal symptoms including endoscopy. I biopsy and remove small head and neck lumps, submandibular glands, branchial and thyroglossal cysts. During my training rotation I had extensive experience in elective major and minor head and neck procedures including laryngectomy (partial, endoscopic and complete), neck dissection (radical and modified), parotid and thyroid surgery. Having worked in the Glasgow region, I have frequent experience in exploring penetrating neck injuries! Paediatric Otolaryngology I deal with a large paediatric work load. I deal with congenital and acquired hearing loss and perform tympanomastoid surgery on this group. I have a combined clinic with a community paediatrician and audiologist every two months at George Elliot Hospital and University Hospital Coventry. I have attended specialist paediatric otology/audiology clinic at Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow and Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. My operative experience includes extensive general paediatric otolaryngological surgery at various hospitals in the West of Scotland and some specialist airway surgery at Royal Manchester Children Hospital and Booth Hall Children's Hospital. General Surgery The general surgery post at Manchester Royal Infirmary and the basic surgical training rotation in the same region provided experience in all aspects of upper and lower GI surgery, breast and hepatobiliary conditions. I managed critically ill patients including some in intensive care and cardiothoracic units. MEDICOLEGAL EXPERIENCE: I developed an interest in medico-legal matter since 2005. I have a supra-specialist interest in Otology and Neuro-otology. I regularly prepare medico-legal reports for suspected industrial noise damage and ear symptoms related to head/neck trauma including whiplash injuries. I have prepared over 250 medical reports since 2005. At present I am preparing approximately 25 reports per year. All of my work has been on behalf of claimants except for 3 single joint expert reports. My claimant/defendant ratio is therefore: 99% claimant /1% defendant. I have not attended court as an expert witness. I have attended court once as a professional witness. I have used my skills in computing to write a excel sheet to analyse patients hearing levels, compare these to the expected hearing and compute the statistical likelihood of pathological / industrial hearing loss. I have also prepared a number of reports dealing with clinical negligence claims. I organised a training course in Coventry in 2008 specifically dealing with medicolegal aspects of noise induced hearing loss. I have attended one court case as an professional witness and spent time in the box. I have attended the following medicolegal courses: • In to court (Academy of experts) London, UK November 2011 • Medicolegal Expert Course Leicester June 2010 • Foundation Course (Academy of Experts) London December 2007 TEACHING EXPERIENCE: I am the lead clinician for undergraduate education in ENT. During most clinics and operating session I teach relevant skills to SPR’s, F1, F2 and ST’s. I lecture on cranial nerve anatomy and special senses at the medical school during the neuro-biology module. I have delivered lectures to medical, dental and speech therapist. I teach ST's, medical students and nursing staff. I have extensive small group teaching experience during my anatomy demonstrator job: mostly gross and clinical anatomy. I have taught First Aid to medical students and members of the public. I have attended a Teaching and Lecturing Skills Course in Glasgow. I organise a national Temporal Bone Dissection course three times a year. I am a member of the faculty for the Warwick Undergraduate Microsurgery Course.
