Biography
I was appointed as a Consultant Stroke Physician at University Hospital Southampton in 2014, and since that time have developed a keen interest in hyperacute stroke research, and founded the NIHR Hyperacute Stroke Research Centre (HSRC) in 2018. We have gradually expanded our research studies and in 2023 were the 6th highest recruiter into stroke studies in the UK.
I trained in London, Wessex and Oxford and undertook a stroke fellowship in Bournemouth and Southampton
