Profile

I am a Cancer Research UK Clinical Trial Fellow at University of Leeds and Honorary Consultant in Clinical Oncology at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. I completed a BSc with Honours of the First Class in Medicine at University of St Andrews in 2007 and MBChB with Honours and Distinction at University of Manchester in 2010. I completed a PhD in technical radiotherapy research within the Cancer Research UK Advanced Radiotherapy Network (ART-NET) programme at University of Leeds in March 2022. I commenced a Cancer Research UK Clinical Trial Fellowship in April 2022. I completed my Clinical Oncology training at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and was awarded my Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in May 2022.

Research interests

My current research is focused on the design, set-up and conduct of radiotherapy clinical trials. I am Co-Chief Investigator of the Yorkshire Cancer Research-funded Pelvis Or Involved Node Treatment: Eradicating Recurrence in Prostate Cancer (POINTER-PC) UK multicentre phase 3 randomised controlled trial. I am interested in novel radiotherapy techniques, including stereotactic radiotherapy, proton beam therapy and the delivery of a second course of radiotherapy close to a previously treated area (known as re-irradiation). My clinical practice is focused on Uro-oncology (prostate and bladder cancers).
