For 13 years was the lead clinician and chair of a multi-disciplinary team that treated patients with skin cancer in Devon (a skin cancer hot-spot of the UK). He pioneered the use of dermoscopy in the UK since 1999 and has been involved in a number of melanoma and other skin cancer clinical trials. This experience has given him particular expertise in providing complete care for patients with skin cancer. Given his position, he regularly trains other dermatologists, nurses and GP in advanced skin surgery of skin cancer and dermoscopy.

He has been the clinical director of the regional NHS and private laser service at Exeter since 2001 and contributed to innovations in laser techniques over that time. This has allowed him to develop a comprehensive knowledge of laser treatments and also a varied cosmetic practice.
