BIOGRAPHY

I am a consultant anaesthetist and have worked at Birmingham Childrens’ Hospital since 1998. My main interests are liver transplantation and long term central venous access. I have been providing long term central venous access for over 24 years.

The venous access team places over 600 tunnelled lines a year. The hospital has a very busy haematology/oncology unit, as well as a dialysis unit and a home parenteral nutrition service. The latter two groups of patients provide the biggest challenge: vessel maintenance.

We also place tunnelled lines in small infants for feeding and antibiotics, which can be challenging.

My long-term aim is to make paediatric central venous access a routine procedure with minimal risk and disturbance to the child and family. However, much of my time is spent trying to balance requests for lines with the resources available.

I have published widely on paediatric central venous access, have delivered lectures and run workshops on the subject. I am a board member of NIVAS, a council mmber of LICAGE and a member of the Safe Vascular Access committee of the Association of Anaesthetists.
