I work at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, Shropshire. I run a busy Pain Clinic there. I

September 2010 I moved to Telford where I have been appointed a Consultant in

Shrewsbury & Telford Hospitals NHS Trust since 2011.

I have published several papers in peer reviewed medical journals. I obtained my Ph.D. in
