I then undertook clinical academic renal training with an ACF in Prof Hattersley's group followed by doctoral work through the Tony Wing Clinical Research Fellowship at the University of Bristol. My PhD work was recognised with the AEG Raine Award from the UK Kidney Association. I completed my training with a ACL post and obtained my CCT in 2020.
