I was selected to the Birmingham Orthopaedic specialist registrar training program in 1995.

For super specialist training and fellowship in knee surgery I went to at the Avon Orthopaedic Centre, Bristol. This centre is renowned for partial knee replacement surgery; pioneering works on problems relating to the patella (kneecap) and for cartilage and ligament reconstruction surgery. Having worked there for 4 years I gained proficiency in treating a wide varity of problems affecting the knee.

I then joined the Major Trauma Unit, at Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham as a Senior Trauma Fellow in a unit dealing with injuries to the knee as well as other types of sports injuries. I gained a lot of experience in dealing with major injuries to the knee and other parts of the body.

During my training I was awarded visiting fellowships to different centres in the USA and Germany, which specialize in cartilage and ligament knee reconstruction surgery.

While working in Bristol I took time to undertake an additional degree in Orthopaedic Engineering at Cardiff University.

After completing the training at Birmingham, Bristol and Nottingham I was awarded the Certificate of Completion of Specialist training and in July 2005 was added to the GMC Specialist Register.

I was appointed as a Consultant Knee Surgeon to The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham with a part time commitment to The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Birmingham in August 2005.

Clinical Practice:

I work as a Consultant Knee Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, where I undertake partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, revision knee replacement and partial knee cap replacement. I replace damaged or worn out cartilage with cartilage cells grown in a laboratory.
