In 2002 Mark returned to Cape Town to begin specialist surgical training at
Groote Schuur hospital. He completed this training in 2006 being awarded the
ASSA prize for surgical research, and the Swann-Morton prize for the best
surgical registrar. Mark continued at Groote Schuur for a further two years in a sub specialist fellowship training position in the Hepato-Biliary unit. This provided training in ERCP, GI endoscopy, and complex liver and pancreatic surgery. At the end of these two years Mark passed the sub-specialist exam in surgical gastroenterology. To further increase his skills and experience in hepato-biliary surgery Mark and his family moved to Newcastle in the UK for 2009, where Mark took up a one year fellowship in hepato-biliary and transplant surgery at the Freeman Hospital. This year provided the opportunity for a high volume of liver and pancreatic surgery cases, as well as ERCP, and expert training in the field. Mark is an accomplished general surgeon, with special interests in hepato-biliary surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and endoscopy (including ERCP). He will be joining the practice in 2010, and forming part of the new surgical gastroenterology unit at Constantiaberg. Mark is married to Tanya and they have one daughter Rebecca. Mark’s hobbies include golf, fly-fishing, and scuba diving. | |
