I am a retired Consultant Plastic Surgeon who specialised in the management of Children with Upper Limb differences at Birmingham Childrens Hospital. In 2018, I was awarded an OBE for services to children and young people with limb differences.
Since retirement, I have worked as a trustee with Reach; the music charity, OHMI, and the Birmingham Women’s and Childrens Hospital.
