I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Oncologist in the Oxford Sarcoma Service. Since my appointment in 2005, the service has had a 100% increase in patients treated, with expansion of the referral region and defining the referral pathways. I have been Chair of the Sarcoma Tumour Group (TSSG) since 2007 and my main objective has to been to ensure the service is compliant with National Sarcoma Guidelines. This has been achieved with the implementation of a weekly Multi-disciplinary Team Meeting allied with video-conferencing, a prospective sarcoma database and an expansion of core and extended team members.
Within oncology, I further sub-specialise in the treatment of sacro-pelvic tumours. This is a demanding area and experience in complex hip revision has complimented my reconstructive procedures in this area.
