Current roles

Associate Professor – Department of Medicine, University of Otago Christchurch
Consultant Interventional Cardiologist – Te Whatu Ora – Waitaha Canterbury and the Christchurch Heart Group
Senior Research Fellow – University of Edinburgh

Professional and research interests

Coronary artery disease (angina and acute coronary syndrome)
Valvular heart disease (aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation)
Stroke prevention (PFO closure, LAA occlusion)
Cardiac computed tomography (CT)

Phil works in the Christchurch Heart Institute and is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist.

His clinical expertise is related to the treatment of coronary and structural heart diseases (coronary stenting, TAVI, PFO closure, etc).

His research focus is the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of cardiovascular disease using circulating and imaging biomarkers, particularly advanced cardiac CT imaging. He currently holds 2 project grants from the Health Research Council of NZ for multicentre trials investigating new approaches to the treatment of acute coronary syndromes. He is also an investigator for new devices being tested as minimally invasive treatments for structural heart disease and stroke prevention.

Outside of work he enjoys anything that gets him into the outdoors – running, hiking, and mountain biking.
