He has travelled overseas on prize-winning fellowships to Hong Kong and Istanbul to improve his spinal and paediatric skills at renowned centres where he gained immensely from leading spinal experts. He is known to be a thinking surgeon who always tries to find a better way of improving patient care and outcomes, this is evidenced in his two classifications that enhance patient safety and care.
