I qualified from Aberdeen university Medical School in 1994 and subsequently did my Basic Surgical Training in Newcastle. In 2007 I completed my Higher Surgical Training in Trauma and Orthopaedics, including a fellowship in Lower Limb Arthroplasty at the University of Toronto, Canada. I have been working as a Consultant at the North Lincolnshire & Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust from 2007 till present.
