I am a sixth year colorectal trainee in the Yorkshire region currently working in Hull - commuting from Leeds daily.

I grew up in Canterbury and have progressed steadily North - medical school in Nottingham and then SHO, research and SpR in Leeds.

I ended up getting involved in the ASiT website because I drank too much beer at an ASiT meeting and foolishly agreed!! In addition to the ASiT website I am the webmaster of the Dukes’ Club (colorectal trainees' club) website.
