In addition I treat facial skin cancers, salivary gland disease and I am trained in all aspects of hard and soft tissue oral-facial surgery I qualified with commendations from Edinburgh University in 1991.My General Surgical and Maxillofacial training was undertaken in the West of Scotland and Tayside. Following this postgraduate training I was awarded Fellowships in Surgery from the Edinburgh, Glasgow and London Royal College of Surgeons. In addition to this I have received many distinction awards in areas such as Anatomy, Prosthetics and Radiology. I am a Clinical Lecturer at Glasgow University and an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons. Actively involved in both undergraduate and post graduate teaching and training and a regular speaker at National and International conferences. I have also been involved in creating and running anatomy cadaveric dissection courses both in the UK and Globally and developed the ‘layered’ approach to teaching anatomy of the head and neck to simplify the understanding of tissue planes and danger points.
