Introduction

I have held the substantive Chair in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery – one of very few in the UK – since 1995. I was only the second female to be appointed to a UK chair in a surgical discipline. I have a subspecialist clinical practice in throat symptoms, benign laryngeal surgery and persistent physical (unexplained) symptoms. i have developed a new local service for local anaesthetic vocal cord medialisation

 Roles and Responsibilities

I chair the Local Comprehensive Research Network ENT Specialty Group. I am regional ENT Trainee Research Director. I sit on the RCSEd Specialty Group in ENT. I established and continue to run UK Evidence Based Medicine review days in Otolaryngology and contribute to National research Priority setting in the specialty.

Research Interests

My research interest lie within the head and neck, particularly the throat. They include:

Extra-oesophageal manifestations of gastro-oesophageal reflux

The aetiology and treatment of persistent throat symptoms including tonsillitis in adulthood,  cervical dysphagia, globus sensation, hoarseness and socially disruptive snoring

Patient involvement in head and neck cancer decision making

Innate immunity in chronic rhinosinusitis

Autonomic function in the genesis and perpetuation of persistent physical symptoms 

Research Roles

I chair the Local Comprehensive Research Network ENT Specialty Group, hence represent our group on the national committee. I am PI on a number of clinical studies. I act as regional ENT Trainee Research Director, with particular responsibility for two current Academic Clinical Fellows in otolaryngology, and in 2012-13 three Academic foundation Year doctors
