I graduated from the University of Leicester Medical School in 2005, after which, I underwent foundation training. In 2007, I moved north to undertake core surgical training, at the renowned Yorkshire School of Surgery at Leeds General Infirmary. There, I was part of the complex trauma & orthopaedic team, mentored by Professor PV. Giannoudis. In 2010, I enrolled for a postgraduate degree in clinical research (University of Leeds) and was awarded a Doctor of Medicine (M.D) from the same institution in 2015.
My Specialist training was at the Royal London Hospital orthopaedic rotation and I joined the specialist register in 2019. I undertook two (Hip and Knee) arthroplasty fellowships at Royal Bournemouth Hospital, one of the busiest centres for joint replacements in the UK, under the mentorship of Professor Rob Middleton & Professor Adrian Harvey, with exposure to complex, revision and robotic joint replacements. In 2020, I was appointed as a consultant Orthopaedic and trauma surgeon at St Richards Hospital, Chichester.
