He qualified in 1986 from Salford University and received a Post-Graduate Masters degree in ‘Clinical Podiatric Biomechanics’ from Staffordshire University in 2004, a course he now teaches on. He also teaches Podiatric Biomechanics to third year students at the University of Malta and helped develop their Podopaediatric course, which addresses the treatment of children’s feet.

He has undertaken post-graduate modules in Rheumatology and Pharmacology and has lectured at national and international conferences. In 2015 he won an NHS achievement award for ‘Excellence in Education and Research’ and is a keen contributing member of MSK:UK, a professional group dedicated to continued professional development within the field of Musculoskeletal Podiatry.

He continues to work with the charity ‘Festival Medical Services’ which offers medical care to festival goers at the Glastonbury and Reading festivals, this year dealing with cases of Trench foot.
