After spending my earlier life in Turkey, Belgium and the United States of America, I came to the UK for medical training at Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Schools of Medicine which I completed with Distinction. My Surgical training took place across London, South East Thames and the Wessex Deanery. I undertook fellowships at University Hospital Southampton, the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, Royal Surrey County Hospital and Frimley Park Hospital. Awards from the British Orthopaedic Association and the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society facilitated a visiting fellowship to the Harborview Medical Centre in Seattle USA.

I am actively involved in researeach with roles as Priniciple Investigator in hospitals involved in Multicentre Randomised Controlled Trials. I have been nominated and/or won awards for teaching, presentation and research excellence. I have over a dozen publications and over 30, predominantly international, presentations. I am involved with Orthopaedic Specialty training at a national level.
