As part of his training he spent time abroad in Dundee, Iowa (USA) and Christchurch (New Zealand). On returning he was then appointed as a Consultant Head and Neck surgeon in Fife for two years. His current appointment is as lead clinician for Head and Neck Cancer Services in the Department of Otolaryngology in Edinburgh.
