Following a year of research for his MD at the University of Bonn in Germany, he started his surgical training in the UK. He was awarded a Masters of Science Degree from the University of Cardiff in the field of Biomechanics and Engineering in Orthopaedic Surgery. He is regularly involved in teaching future surgeons and GP’s and is studying for a Medical Education Degree himself.
After two posts in Plastic and Hand Surgery he started his orthopaedic specialty training with posts in Cardiff, Swansea and North Wales, followed by two years on the Oswestry Rotation gaining the desired training in his chosen field of interest of Upper Limb Surgery.
