I am the current Clinical Director of the General Intensive Care unit having led the ICU through our Covid-19 response whilst achieving some of the best outcomes in the country. GICU is a tertiary hospital unit with 40 beds, with over 240 nursing and support staff, 40 junior doctors and 23 consultants.
I have been appointed Clinical Commercial Director for the trust and work closely with the commercial department to provide clinical context in establishing entrepreneurial and industry relationships.
I am lead anaesthesiologist for Delcath Chemosaturation and for liver-directed therapy at Southampton having the largest series of patient experience spanning ten years for uveal melanoma worldwide.
