I am a highly experienced Consultant Physician in Sport, Exercise and Musculoskeletal Medicine (SEM), with expertise in managing a wide variety of musculoskeletal presentations across a patient’s journey. I work as part of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering high-quality care to every patient.

I’m Clinical Lead for the SEM clinic at Manchester Foundation Trust (MFT), having been initially appointed in 2016. Alongside this, I have worked in elite level football for 15 years. This includes a position as Lead Medical Officer for the Irish Football Association, where I also work as Senior Men’s Team Doctor. I have also worked for several years within Premier League and Championship settings. I am a member of the new FSEM ‘Team Care Committee’, with a responsibility for standard-setting and training within the elite team care environment.

I have a keen interest in medical education and hold the role of Trust Speciality Training Lead for MFT. I am a Clinical and Education Supervisor of SEM trainees across their training programme, and an affiliate lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, teaching on a range of SEM topics. I am also Course Lead on the UEFA Football Doctor Education Programme (FDEP) held in Northern Ireland each year.
