He completed a 12 months fellowship in laparoscopic bowel surgery in Western Australia and was appointed as a consultant in Northern health in 2017. He then moved to the UK where he spent 18 months in a sub specialty Fellowship, the first being at Oxford University hospital where he gained valuable experience in complex laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for benign and malignant disease of the colon and rectum.
