About
Mr Donnelly's undergraduate and postgraduate training took place in London. He gained wide experience in ENT working in a number of major teaching hospitals including Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals, Great Ormond Street and the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery. He has been awarded three prestigious Fellowships - one in Sydney Australia and two in Cambridge. These have provided super specialist training in Skull Base Surgery, Otology, Hearing Implantation Surgery and Ménière’s disease.
During his higher surgical training he also undertook a Masters degree in Audiovestibular Medicine at University College London. His passion for hearing and balance disorders stems from the insight he gained into these fascinating and often challenging conditions.
