I graduated from Nottingham University Medical School in 1994. I undertook my higher specialist surgical training in ENT in the West Midlands and Wessex deaneries. During my training, The Royal College of Surgeons of England funded me for three years (2001-2004) to carry out postgraduate basic science research into the mechanisms of inflammation in allergic rhinitis. This research was based in the Infection, Inflammation and Immunity Division of the School of Medicine at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ. This work has culminated in a PhD which was awarded in 2005. Subsequently, I was also awarded a Hunterian Professorship of Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2006, the first such award of its kind to a UK Rhinologist.

During my final year of clinical training (2008), I undertook a sub-specialist overseas fellowship in Rhinology & Anterior Skull Base Surgery under the tutelage of Professor Wytske Fokkens at the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam. In 2008, I was awarded one of the prestigious Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) Clinical Senior Lectureships. I started my appointment as Senior Lecturer in Rhinology and Honorary Consultant ENT Surgeon at University Hospital ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ in 2009. I now hold the position of Inaugural Chair of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ, and Honorary Professor of Rhinology at University Hospital ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ.
