\"Dr<\/p>\n

Why did you choose your specialty?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really enjoy the combination of out-patient clinics and endoscopic procedures.<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy most about your job? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dealing with very treatable conditions; I am able to relieve most patients\u2019 symptoms.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What one thing do you wish every member of the public knew?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The importance of the gut microbiota in health and disease.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What three traits define you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Organisational skills, sense of humour and timeliness\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is your inspiration?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Iain Murray-Lyon, Retired Consultant Gastroenterologist at Charing Cross Hospital. I was one of his undergraduate students and his House Officer in 1987.\u00a0 His teaching, enthusiasm and clinical abilities shaped my career choice and help enabled it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 29 years of marriage to my wife, Sara, and our 3 sons.<\/p>\n

If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Car sales.<\/p>\n

What advances in medicine are you most excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How changes in the biodiversity of the gut microbiota will be shown to influence Crohn\u2019s disease and ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n

What (health) app would you most recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not use any (I use a Blackberry for work!)<\/p>\n
