Having decided upon a career in General Surgery, he did the majority of his specialist surgical training in the Leicester area but also spent nearly 3 years in Adelaide, South Australia. This has enabled him to develop a very wide experience in his chosen surgical speciality, particularly in the fields of complex liver and pancreatic surgery, as well as advanced laparoscopic surgery.
