He graduated MBBS in 1985 and was awarded J C Lisboa gold medal in surgery for securing the highest marks. He subsequently specialised in general surgery in 1990 and further qualified as a urologist in 1993. He was awarded SIU (Societe Internationale D'urologie) cancer fellowship at the Royal Marsden Hospital in 1997 and undertook advanced cancer training at the Christie Hospital, Manchester, Freeman in Newcastle and Hammersmith, Royal Free and Charing Cross Hospitals in London.
