I was born in Hong Kong and completed my primary and secondary education at St Paul’s Co-Educational College.  I came to England in 1984 to study A-Level’s at Rugby School. 

I was awarded the Peter Walker Prize for a place to read Medicine at the University of Cambridge in 1986.  I obtained my BA (Hons) degree in Medical Sciences (2:1) in 1989, MB BChir (Cantab) degree in 1991 and the following qualifications: MA (Cantab) 1991, FRCS (Eng) 1994.

I underwent specialist training in Urology and Urological Surgery in London.  I also undertook research on the role of urinary sodium in the sensation of urgency in patients with an Overactive Bladder.  I won a British Urological Foundation Scholarship and the Short Paper Prize from the Urology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine.

I obtained my specialist qualification, FRCS (Urol) in 2003.  Following this, I undertook sub-specialty training in Female and Reconstructive Urology at the Institute of Urology, London. 

In 2004, I was appointed as a Consultant Urological Surgeon and Honorary Senior Lecturer to St. George’s Hospital and Medical School at the University of London. 

I sit on the Board of Surgical Education at St George’s Hospital Medical School and I participate actively in the teaching of both medical students and junior doctors.

I have been invited to speak in regional, national (British Association of Urological Surgeons) and international (International Urogynecological Association) meetings
