He graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 1990 and intercalated undertaking a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy. He was awarded a British Heart Foundation Junior Research Fellowship in 1999 and undertook an MD thesis at the Wales Heart Research Institute studying vascular biology. After completing an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the prestigious Mount Sinai Hospital, Manhattan, New York, USA, he returned to the United Kingdom to complete his cardiology training at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in 2002 where he became a consultant cardiologist in 2004. He is a nationally and internationally recognised specialist in structural heart interventions and has led the TAVI programme at QEHB since its inception in 2008.

He has recently undertaken implants of the novel Evoque valve, the first and only percutaneous transcatheter heart valve for tricuspid valve regurgitation. He is an active researcher and has published widely in high impact cardiology journals (eg Circulation, Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, JACC Cardiovascular Int, Heart, European Heart Journal, American Journal of Cardiology, Catheterisation and Cardiovascular Interventions, British Medical Journal, Clinical Science). He lectures regularly nationally and internationally in the field of structural valve interventions. He is a proctor for a number of biomedical companies and has proctored TAVI cases in America, Europe and Japan and rotational atherectomy cases in Europe.
