He is a member of the regular British Armed Forces (Defence Medical Services) holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Mr Navaratne graduated 1st in his class (Broderip and Atchison prize for best overall performance in MBBS examinations) with distinction from the world-renowned University College London (UCL) Medical School, which is consistently ranked within the top 10 best medical schools in the world. Whilst at medical school he undertook an intercalated Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Anatomy, once again graduating top of his class, receiving a First Class honours degree and named on the Dean’s list.

Mr Navaratne completed his postgraduate surgical training in London at various prestigious surgical units including Royal London Hospital (Barts Health NHS Trust), Royal Marsden Hospital (The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust) and St Mary’s Hospital (Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust). Mr Navaratne completed a Major Trauma fellowship at the Level 1 Major Trauma Centre at St Mary’s Hospital. He subsequently undertook travelling fellowships to Kingston, Jamaica for the management of complex abdominal injuries with a focus on gunshot trauma and the David Dunn Fellowship to Hospital San Carlos in Madrid for Upper GI Surgery. Mr Navaratne is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.

Mr Navaratne is highly specialised in the management of abdominal wall conditions including diastasis recti and all types of hernia.
