I am a consultant and paediatric lead clinician in the plastic surgery and burns unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. This is the only NHS burns department looking after burns injuries and performing burns reconstruction in Greater London. I specialise in all aspects of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. My main interest and sub-specialty is burns surgery, the management of difficult and complex wounds and any conditions with extensive skin loss. I am also interested in skin cancer reconstruction, reconstruction/ management of scars and soft tissue loss either cosmetic or functional of all etiologies.
