General Medicine

I manage patients with a broad range of acute and general medical problems with particular expertise in diagnostic uncertainty and patients with multiple comorbidities and polypharmacy (being on several medications). As a Clinical Pharmacologist I review medicines together with the patient to weigh their intended benefits against potential adverse effects and explore the range of therapeutic options.

Hypertension, Cholesterol and Cardiovascular risk

I am the clinical lead for the Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk clinic at University College London Hospital and have extensive experience investigating and managing patients with complex hypertension including young-onset, post-partum, post-stroke and heart attack, resistant (not responding to medicines), perioperative and secondary hypertension (due to underlying medical causes). I often help patients who suffer with adverse reactions to their blood pressure medicines and address other cardiovascular risk factors including high cholesterol.
