James graduated from Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals London in1995 and is a fully qualified orthopaedic and trauma surgeon. He undertook a fellowship in Foot and Ankle Surgery at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital at Stanmore and specialises in all aspects of foot and ankle problems in children and adults, from foot pain and ingrowing toenails through sports injuries and fractures to total ankle replacement. He uses the most up to date surgical techniques to optimise outcomes and recovery times for his patients.
He was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells in 2005 and went on to lead the development of foot and ankle surgery in the area including setting up the only multidisciplinary Charcot diabetic foot and ankle clinic in Kent.
