From 2015 to 2021, Mr. Bell held the role of Regional Network Lead for South East London and Kent. He also served as an executive member of the British Association of Spinal Surgeons. Additionally, he took on the responsibility of National Lead for the British Spinal Registry (BSR), a tool used to ensure the quality of surgical care throughout the United Kingdom.
Mr. Bell is actively engaged in the medical community and regularly attends and lectures at conferences both in the United Kingdom and abroad. He has a medicolegal practice where he acts as an expert witness, particularly with an interest in Cauda Equina Syndrome.
