He trained as a doctor at St.Thomas' Hospital and as a specialist surgeon at St. Mary's Hospital in London. In 1996 he was selected to spend a year in Nice, France as Fellow to Professor Boileau who is widely recognised as one of the world's leading shoulder experts. It was this relationship that inspired him to become a shoulder surgeon. On returning to the UK he was appointed as a consultant at Ashford/St. Peters Hospital where he set up the very successful Upper Limb Unit. He now works full-time as an independent surgeon seeing private and NHS patients.
