My Orthopaedic higher surgical training took place in London (South-east Thames rotation) after which I completed 2 years of Fellowship training, sub-specialising in surgery of the knee and hip. My first Fellowship was spent in Adelaide, where he worked closely with some of the best surgeons in Australia perfecting techniques in sports injury surgery.
