He will use the Ellison-Cliffe Travelling Fellowship to undertake a 12-month surgical fellowship at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, one of the world’s premier cancer hospitals. During this fellowship, he will gain diverse exposure to head and neck cancer surgery, including the rapidly developing area of robotic oropharyngeal resection and reconstruction.

“I am honoured to receive this prestigious award and extend my sincere appreciation to the Royal Society of Medicine, the Ellison-Cliffe Charitable Trust, and the Ellison-Cliffe family for their remarkable generosity. This support makes a substantial difference in managing the practical costs associated with relocation. Inspired by their recognition and trust, I am strongly committed to fully capitalising on my time in Melbourne and to proudly representing the values and mission of the RSM.”
