I have been trained as a general surgeon and vascular surgeon in Maastricht and Heerlen in the Netherlands. Following this I decided to do a subspecialty in Endovascular techniques and did a fellowship with Prof. Verhoeven in Nurnberg, Germany. This was followed by a specialised Vascular Fellowship in 2 centres of excellence in London (Imperial College - St. Mary's and Guy's & St. Thomas' Hospital). Following my qualification, I started working as a consultant vascular surgeon in 2015 for the Sussex Vascular Network working in Brighton & Sussex University Hospital, Conquest Hospital, Hastings & Eastbourne District General Hospital. My main areas of interest are care for the diabetic foot and endovascular treatments. In 2018 I became the chair for the Sussex Diabetic Foot steering group.
