He was appointed as a Consultant at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford in 2008. He is the clinical director for orthopaedics.

His orthopaedic specialist registrar training was in the Bath and Wessex Region. He then completed a specialist fellowship in upper limb surgery at the largest upper limb centre in Canada and took additional training at the Mayo Clinic in America.

He is interested in teaching (including medical students, nursing staff, junior doctors and consultants.) He is a Clinical Lecturer for Keele Medical School and is an Orthopaedic Lead Clinical Tutor.
