His three complex fellowships at the world-class and cutting-edge Oxford, St. George’s and Southampton University Hospitals provided a unique opportunity to work closely with several leading lights in spinal surgery (both orthopaedic and neurosurgical colleagues) in Major Trauma Centres exposing him to a wide range of degenerative, trauma and elective experiences involving the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine that have shaped his patient-centred, empathic yet scientific and thoughtful approach to patient care.

He has travelled overseas on prize-winning fellowships to Hong Kong and Istanbul to improve his spinal and paediatric skills at renowned centres where he gained immensely from leading spinal experts. He is known to be a thinking surgeon who always tries to find a better way of improving patient care and outcomes, this is evidenced in his two classifications that enhance patient safety and care.
