My clinical and research expertise is in cartilage assessment, stem cell regenerative medicine, early arthritis and joint preserving surgery and advanced bespoke joint replacement. I completed Orthopaedic Training in London, and advanced fellowships in Knee and Hip Surgery in Sydney and London. I worked as a Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Clinician Scientist in Edinburgh for eight years prior to moving to Manchester to become Academic Head of the Department of Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery.

In 2010 I was selected to represent the UK on the prestigious ABC Fellowship, where I toured the top centres in Canada and America for an educational exchange. Other awards include NRS Clinician Scientist Award, BASK Travelling Fellowship Award, Best paper at the British Orthopaedic Research Society, Presidents Prize Paper at the Royal Society of Medicine, The William Little Medal (twice) and I have been peer-selected as one of the top 15 cartilage repair surgeons in the world to attend research summits on advancing the science and surgery of cartilage repair. I was Orthopaedic Tutor of the Year twice at Edinburgh University.

I have been recognised as a leader in the field with Senior Fellowship status of the International Cartilage Repair Society.

I currently serve on the Executive of The British Association for Surgery of the Knee as Treasurer, The Board of the ICRS and Chair the International Cartilage Repair Society Registry and The British Orthopaedic Association Research Committee. I am a Clinician Advisor to NICE and review grant awards and research manuscripts for 15 different institutions.

I have published over 100 scientific research papers and books, including authorship in the latest edition of Grays Anatomy. I have supervised many higher degree students.

I prioritise the best evidenced-based care of my patients with the latest research-proven treatments.
