His educational background includes:

• Bachelor's Degree in Sports Science and Physiology from the University of Leeds (2000-2003)
• Professional Doctorate in Health and Social Care from the University of Salford (2014-2022), focusing on integrating intermittent claudication into cardiac rehabilitation

Research centers on exercise rehabilitation for cardiovascular disease, particularly peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication. His work examines exercise prescription protocols, pain management during therapy, and service integration models. He actively develops clinical guidelines through collaborations with PoTS UK and STARS.

Publication trends reveal a concentrated focus on standardizing exercise interventions for PAD patients, with systematic reviews dominating recent output. Key themes include test methodology, adherence barriers, and comparative effectiveness of integrated rehabilitation models across UK healthcare settings.
