Following this, Mr Wokes completed the renowned, nationally appointed Training Interface Group Head and Neck Oncology Fellowship at the Manchester Royal Infirmary and the Christie Hospital, one of Europe’s leading cancer centres. Further time of fellowship spent in Belgium and Sweden, learning novel and innovative techniques has allowed Mr Wokes to adopt a contemporary approach to all aspects of reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.
