I trained in medicine at Oxford University Medical School, and qualified as a doctor in 1991. I was awarded a Doctorate in Medicine for research on skin biology and wound healing. I trained as a plastic surgeon in London (Mount Vernon Hospital), Salisbury, East Grinstead, and Cambridge, and undertook fellowship training in hand, and micro-surgery in Leeds and Melbourne Australia. I was awarded the European Diploma i Hand Surgery.
