He was awarded an MD postgraduate research degree by the University of Hull and York on his research on the prevalence of glucometabolic disorders in acute coronary syndrome and their prognostic influence in the long-term cardiovascular outcome. He then completed his cardiology training in the Northern Ireland Deanery, where he sub-specialised in coronary intervention during the last two years. He also completed the prestigious Bournemouth Advanced Interventional Cardiology Fellowship programme.
