read more I went to school in Heolddu Comprehensive, Bargoed and trained at St. George’s Hospital London qualifying in 1992 (along with Harry Hill!) I have been GP trainer for Bridgend GP scheme since 2002 and Educational Supervisor for hospital doctors since 2007. My main special area of interest is Sports & Exercise Medicine having completed a five year Masters Degree in 2009 at Bath University. I am currently club medical officer to Ospreys Rugby having previously been with Treorchy, Bridgend, Celtic Warriors and Welsh Students. I also provide cover for Wales Under 18 & 20s. Outside the practice I enjoy my involvement in rugby as well as keeping fit and recently taken up sea kayaking. Most of all I value my time with my family, especially with my wife and two young sons, who make me laugh every day.

read more After leaving school, I did a 3 year degree at University College Cardiff and graduated with a BSc in Pharmacology. I then went to Medical School in Cardiff and qualified as a Doctor in 1992. I am a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners and hold the Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (which came in handy when I unexpectedly delivered my second son at home). I have been trained in acupuncture by the British Medical Acupuncture Society and in the use of cosmetic fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment by KT Training, Harley Street, London. My medical interests include minor surgery and medical education. I perform vasectomies for the region at the Pencoed Clinic. This website has been designed and developed by me, so if the colours clash, you know who to blame!
As well as General Practice, I also work for the British Medical Journal as the GP Editor of BMJ Onexamination.com – a revision resource for Doctors sitting postgraduate medical exams. I am member of Coeliac UK’s Health Advisory Council and an MSc External Examiner for the University of South Wales. I am a Welsh speaker and I’m happy to hold consultations in Welsh. I live in Cardiff with my wife, who is also a Doctor, but is presently a full time mother looking after our 4 children. My hobbies include cycling, playing the guitar, listening to music of all kinds and I love great food (which just about rules out anything I’ve cooked for myself).
