His practice includes key hole (arthroscopic), open and joint replacement (arthroplasty) surgery to the upper limb with specialist expertise in conditions affecting the Shoulder & Elbow.

He completed his higher Orthopaedic training in the South West (Severn) prior to undertaking Fellowships in Shoulder & Elbow surgery in Australia and Trauma in Oxford, where he honed his skills in shoulder and elbow arthrosopy, shoulder arthroplasty, soft tissue reconstruction and complex fracture fixation surgery (including open injuries and procedures to promote bone union).
