Over the subsequent decade I trained in General & Urological Surgery in the North West of England.

I have also received further academic awards from the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS), Section of Endourology.
I was the Chairman of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Section of Trainees in 2020 and as such, sat on the Specialty Advisory Committee (SAC) for Urology. I was also nominated for the BAUS Bronze Cystoscope award in 2020.
I have an active involvement in teaching, research and quality improvement with multiple authored peer reviewed publications and learning modules.
