Mr Hornung is a Consultant General & Colorectal Surgeon at Manchester Royal Infirmary. After completing his basic surgical training in Yorkshire, he undertook a period of clinical research at University Hospital South Manchester, investigating the pathophysiology of pelvic floor pathology. He then completed his higher surgical training in the North West, gaining expertise in General and Colorectal Surgery at all the major tertiary centres.
He has a specialist interest in minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery and undertook a fellowship in Advanced Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery in Yorkshire prior to taking up his Consultant post.
