I undertook preclinical medicine at Keble College, Oxford followed by a DPhil at Brasenose College (under the aegis of Dr. Richard Boyd) and I completed clinical training at Cambridge (Queens’ College). Specialist training in obstetrics & gynaecology on the Oxford training rotation was followed by a clinical lectureship at Warwick and senior lectureship/consultant at Warwick. Fulbright and Churchill Fellowships (in New York & Yale) preceded a move back to Oxford in 2013 as Senior Clinical Fellow/Consultant in Obstetrics.
