On his return he was appointed to the Nottingham General Hospital and Harlow Wood Orthopaedic Hospital and established a Spinal Unit with particular interest in problems in the Mining Industry. The early development of MRI scanning in Nottingham allowed him to utilise this at an early stage, especially its contribution to spinal disorders.
More recently he established with his colleague Mr. John Webb, the Spinal Disorder Unit at the Queen's Medical Centre. This is now the largest specialised spinal unit in the Country dealing with tumour, trauma, deformity and back pain. He is actively involved in the surgical treatment of these disorders but also runs research programmes involving biomechanical studies of the spine, rehabilitation and the chemistry of disc degeneration.
He was past president of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine, Past President of the Society for Back Pain Research and is currently President of the British Orthopaedic Spinal Society.
Inevitably he has developed an interest in the legal aspects of low back pain.
