His research received the British Journal of Surgery prize at the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland in 2013 and he was awarded Doctor of Medicine in 2015, with over 20 regional and national presentations and publication of five peer -reviewed papers. He went on to complete higher surgical training in colorectal surgery and was awarded the Certificate of Completion of Training in July 2016.
