His NHS practice is based across Queen Elizabeth, Heartlands and Solihull Hospitals. He has led the Upper GI service for Birmingham covering a population of more than 3million for over 5 years. In that time he has developed a Gallstone treatment service that treats a 1000 plus patients a year and re-organised the upper GI Cancer services for the Birmingham area. He teaches and trains future surgeons and examines trainees for the Royal College of Surgeons.
