    [Brief_CV2] => I qualified at the University of Cambridge and Guys Hospital Medical School and completed my  specialist training at the  Hospital for Sick Children,  Great Ormond Street   before taking up a consultant post in Paediatric Surgery in  Leeds in 1982.  For much of my consultant career my clinical practice was devoted to Paediatric Urology. 

I was awarded an Honorary Professorial Chair by the University of Leeds in 2003 and Visiting Professorship at the University of York from 2004 - 2010. Academic recognition also includes a Hunterian Professorship of the Royal College of Surgeons and Visiting Professorships in the United States and Europe. I have edited 3 textbooks and published 150 scientific articles   and chapters. Although I retired from clinical practice in 2011 I remain actively engaged in editing, writing, postgraduate teaching and clinical research.  I have 25 years experience in the medico legal field and my recent retirement from clinical work has enabled me to devote more time to medico legal practice.
