He is one of the new surgeons who underwent the formal fellowship and mentoring process. He also works closely with other pelvic cancer specialist surgeons like colo-rectal, plastic surgery, and gynecologists for complex pelvic clearance surgeries for different cancers. He offers an excellent comprehensive core urology service. He teaches and trains medical students and core surgical and urology specialist trainees regionally at Swansea University.
