Innovating clinical care to deliver better care to more people

My main role is Medical Director at Nivelta, a private weight-management service in Spain. I also work regular shifts in urgent care with the NHS in Greater Manchester, keeping clinical practice and registration active alongside my work in digital health.

My career in digital health began in 2019. As Clinical Director at Medicspot I built and led a team of twenty clinicians and introduced mobile-video and asynchronous consultation services. Before that I spent three years at North Manchester General Hospital, leading the development of a Same Day Care Centre that was held nationally as a model for reducing A&E pressures. I qualified from Hull York Medical School and completed GP training in Greater Manchester.

I write about the evidence base for GLP-1 medicine and the clinical management of obesity, as I believe that the treatment of the multi-organ cardiometabolic condition that presents itself as a raised BMI is not only a huge opportunity, but a responsibility for every doctor worldwide.

I also served as a medical advisor to OpenAI, reviewing the safety and usability of outputs from medical algorithms. I hold a PGCCE from Newcastle University and the SCOPE certification from the World Obesity Federation. I am an NHS-qualified Clinical Safety Officer and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
