He is the lead clinician for cataract surgery at University Hospitals Dorset, where he has been an NHS Consultant since 2018, and has practised privately across Dorset and Hampshire since 2020. He is the only Consultant in Dorset to perform refractive laser vision correction.

Andy qualified as a doctor in 2009 at the University of Southampton, going on to gain several postgraduate qualifications, including a distinction in the PG Diploma in Refractive and Cataract Surgery from Ulster University, where he now holds a position as Visiting Professor.

During his training, he undertook Fellowships at University Hospital Southampton and the Lions Eye Institute in Western Australia, alongside further training in complex cataract surgery, iris reconstruction and laser eye surgery in Toronto, Cincinnati, Adelaide and Bangalore.

Andy is an active member of the research and teaching community, well respected for training junior eye surgeons. His research is dedicated to improving patient outcomes in eye surgery, and he has published over 20 peer-reviewed papers. He sat on the Council of the UK and Ireland Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (UKISCRS) from 2022–2025, and is frequently invited to give lectures nationally and internationally.
