Dr White is the clinical lead for CMS community surgery.
Since qualification from Dundee in 1999 he pursued surgery as his chosen career. After completing his MRCS and research he decided to develop a community based surgery service which has been running for over 13 years.
The team have performed over 3000 hernia repairs, 5000 carpal tunnel decompressions and 5000 vasectomies.
His interest in dermatological surgery continues to grow and he offers a full range of skin procedures from simple excisions through to facial flaps and skin grafts all under local anaesthesia.
In 2016, he formed a new partnership with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead called the Cumbria Hand Surgery Service. This service is provided at Carlisle Healthcare South, Carlisle and treats conditions such as Dupuytren’s, cubital tunnel syndrome and De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. This service has achieved international recognition.
He continues to work alongside other surgeons in primary care through the Association of Surgeons in Primary Care and undertakes regular peer reviewed audit.
He has recently started a private service to complement his NHS work (www.cumbriasurgicalservices.co.uk)
When not at work he likes to spend time at home with his wife and children. When time allows he tries to keep fit through cycling although confesses to being a bit of a fair weather cyclist!
