I am honoured to submit my nomination for a position on the Council of the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy. As a consultant gynaecologist specializing in endometriosis and complex laparoscopic surgery, with formal training in gynaecological oncology and advanced endometriosis surgery, I bring a contemporary understanding of the clinical and training challenges facing our specialty.

I have demonstrated leadership in surgical education by founding the Pelviscope Advanced Pelvic Surgery Masterclass four years ago. Through this initiative, my mentorship of junior colleagues, and my roles as a BSGE GESEA faculty member and Thames Valley and South East London Deanery simulation faculty, I have contributed to developing structured, high-quality training opportunities and promoting evidence-based practice in complex minimally invasive surgery. This experience aligns closely with BSGE’s mission to advance excellence in gynaecological endoscopy and surgical training.

My suitability is further strengthened by experience in international engagement. As a member of the BSGE International Relations Subcommittee, I have worked to expand collaboration with international societies, organise joint sessions at international conferences, and facilitate knowledge exchange between institutions. Additionally, as an Oxford University Clinical Research Fellow, I have led a research collaboration between Oxford and Cairo Universities in pelvic and placenta accreta surgery, providing first-hand experience in building productive academic and clinical partnerships across borders.

Through these combined experiences, I can contribute meaningfully to Council strategy in education, training development, and international outreach. I am committed, proactive, and ready to work collaboratively to support the continued growth and impact of BSGE.

As a Consultant Minimal access surgeon at the Southern Endometriosis center I have been tasked to develop a minimal access service and more recently expand this as a robotic service. This has been a challenge and one for which I am keen to offer my experience on the journey for anyone else who wishes to develop their services.

I have been a member of the BSGE since 2015 and I have had an active role in the society website and communications. I have enjoyed doing this and the service that has driven me to stand for the council to represent your views which I have been given during my time on the editorial board of the journal.

With support from the society, I have travelled abroad, visiting centres of excellence and gained experience from other colleagues. This is one of the most valuable opportunities offered by the society and I would aim to strengthen relationship with recognised training hospitals abroad. I am part of the faculty at the University in Bologna – Masters in minimally invasive surgery. This experience will enable me to help support others wanting to gain similar exposure. If elected I would endeavour to help strengthen the research profile and advanced training opportunities, especially for trainees, through collaboration and partnership with other centres abroad.
