Biography

Consultant anaesthetist at Birmingham Heartlands and Solihull Hospitals, Heart of England NHS Trust. Born and raised in the Midlands. Qualified at University College London and UCH. Anaesthetic training in East Anglia and the West Midlands. Met Andrew and Sarah in the late 80’s when they were training at Birmingham Heartlands, they asked me to help in Uganda in 2000. Have been visiting every year since then. I would like every trainee to spend time working in similar circumstances. It has been a great priviledge and a wonderful experience working with Interface Uganda, and being a trustee.

Professional Interests: Obstetric, orthopaedic, ENT and paediatric anaesthesia. Considerable educational commitments: Royal College examiner and Programme director for specialist registrar training.

Cleft lips and palates

Why repair them?

Can’t suck - babies malnourished and fail to thrive;
some babies abandoned at birth;
some tribes have specific names for individuals with cleft - ‘Ojok; - cursed by God;
cleft children often don’t attend school - teased;
cleft adults can be rejected and do not marry.

The cost to repair 1 cleft lip and change a life: £50
