Experience:

I graduated from the University of Southampton in 2000.  I undertook my basic surgical training in East Anglia before moving to London.  There I undertook research for my postgraduate Doctorate in Medicine from Imperial College London – my work sponsored by The Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Stroke Association.  Thereafter I completed my higher surgical training at national and international centres of excellence, including The Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital in Queensland, Australia.  It is a pleasure to be working in my native East Anglia where I live with my wife and two children.
