Personal profile:

I love spending time building intricate structures out of Lego with my two daughters while my son specialises in destroying them. I have always been a film buff and a massive Kubrick fan. I have also recently started painting again.

It is important that HCA is transparent about our relationship with those doctors who provide us with clinical guidance on delivering the best possible care to patients and operating our hospitals safely and efficiently. We set out here some of the ways in which we work together and the amount we pay this doctor for such services.
