I am an autonomous Advanced Practitioner Sonographer with more than 30 years  of experience in diagnostic ultrasound, including 11 years working with Cambridge University Hospitals , Addenbrookes NHS Trust. Alongside, my NHS role I have worked as a part-time locum sonographer across  NHS trusts and GP practices throughout  the East of England , gaining extensive experience across a wide range of clinical environments.

In November 2012, I founded East Anglia Ultrasound  Services Ltd., establishing the practice alongside my clinical career. As Managing Director, I have been responsible for the strategic direction, development and growth of the company, as well as overseeing the day-to-day operations for almost 14  years. This has given me an extensive experience not only in advanced clinical practice, but also in healthcare leadership, service development, quality management and delivery of patient-focused ultrasound services.

My clinical expertise encompasses abdominal ultrasound both adults and paediatric patients as well as advanced pelvic ultrasound using both 2D and 3d imaging techniques. I have particular interest in the comprehensive ultrasound assessment of endometriosis and adenomyosis, congenital uterine anomalies, recurrent miscarriage, postmenopausal bleeding and ultrasound assessment associated with fertility and IVF treatment..

I am passionate about maintaining high clinical standards and keeping pace with developments within the rapidly evolving field of ultrasound. I maintain my knowledge and skills through regular attendance at national and international conferences, specialist symposiums , workshops and advanced ultrasound training programmes. I have a particular interest in emerging technologies and the latest clinical approaches in ultrasound, with the aim of continuously improving the quality, accuracy and clinical value of ultrasound assessment.

With more than three decades of experience in sonography and over a decade of experience leading a specialist ultrasound service, my professional practice is founded on clinical expertise , continuous professional development, technological innovation and compassionate, patent-centred care.

My aim is to provide patient with high quality, comprehensive and clinically focused ultrasound examinations, supported by advanced imaging techniques and extensive professional experience.
