Who We Are

I have worked within the Trust for over 2 decades.  I have been employed as the Lead NET CNS at ESNEFT for 5 years. During this time I have developed the NET CNS role to incorporate PRRT treatment. I am very passionate about supporting patients through treatment and long-term follow-up.

Last year I was nominated for The Neuroendocrine Cancer UK Hero awards. It was a privilege to be one of the top three finalists for founding the NET Patient Meeting Group at Colchester.  This would not have been achievable without the support of both the NET Patients and the NET Team who it is an honour to work with.

I completed my nursing degree in 2006 and have worked for our Trust for over twenty years. I have been in post as a Band 7 Oncology CNS for four years now.

My role within the NET team is to provide a Patient Support Programme (PSP) for patients undertaking PRRT treatment within the Nuclear Medicine Department.

I provide specialist advice around the treatment pre and post infusion and support in telephone and face to face outpatient clinics to ensure continuity of care.

I feel privileged to work amongst the NET team in Colchester, who are an innovative group of HCP’s providing a gold standard service closer to home.

I am Consultant Radiologist with specialist expertise in neuroendocrine tumour (NET) imaging. Based at Colchester Hospital, I currently work within the NHS, contributing to high-volume diagnostic services, specialist MDT meetings, and evidence-based imaging pathways.

I have extensive experience in interpreting advanced CT, MRI and PET CT/MR scans to help accurately diagnose, stage, and monitor NETs, supporting personalised treatment planning and follow-up.

I work closely with specialist NET multidisciplinary team with strong commitment to patient safety, diagnostic accuracy, and collaborative decision-making, and regularly support MDT discussions by providing clear, clinically relevant imaging opinions.

I qualified in medicine from Cambridge University and St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical School. I completed my specialist training in Gastroenterology in London and spent two years in full time research under the supervision of Professor Martyn Caplin at the Neuroendocrine Tumour Unit, Royal Free Hospital. I was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine degree in 2005.

I lead the Neuroendocrine tumour service at East Suffolk and North Essex Trust which started a PRRT service in July 2024. In addition to NETs, I have a specialist interest in small bowel and colon capsule endoscopy and bowel cancer screening. I am a principle investigator in a number of clinical trials and am Deputy Chair/Quality Improvement Lead for the British Society of Gastroenterology Clinical Services Committee.
