He also offered his surgical expertise in NGO and military settings, in which he delivered orthopaedic and ballistic trauma care. He was later awarded an MBE for his military medical services in Afghanistan in 2008.

After injury, waiting to get back to doing what you love is no fun, regardless of age or activity. In the UK, we are very lucky to have the NHS, but sometimes we would benefit from extra explanation, advice, investigation or treatment. Knowing when to ask for a second opinion and which orthopaedic surgeon is best placed to provide your fracture treatment are difficult, but resolvable problems.

A timely accurate Personal Injury Report is essential for Medicolegal claims. As a specialist in multiple injuries (polytrauma) and complex fractures I can provide reports in this area.
