About
A consultant's judgement, at sea level and below it.
Seren Medical Limited is the private practice of a UK-trained consultant anaesthetist and UKDMC registered diving medical referee.
I am a UK-trained doctor on the GMC specialist register as a consultant anaesthetist, with 26 years of experience in medicine. I am a UKDMC registered diving medical referee.
My clinical background combines hospital anaesthesia and critical care with 13 years as a medical officer in the Royal Army Medical Services and 12 years as a consultant in pre-hospital and retrieval medicine with the Wales Air Ambulance. That mix of experience is what I bring to divers and to clients who need serious medical cover in places where hospitals are hours away.
Today I provide remote and in-person medical services to VVIPs offshore, including cover for medical and diving emergencies, and I offer recreational diving medicals remotely or face to face at my local private medical clinic.
