He completed Oncoplastic and Benign Breast Training at Cardiff with Professor Robert Mansel, where he undertook research leading to a thesis on the hormonal dynamics of breast cancer, which was awarded an Arris Gale medal by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Following his appointment as Consultant General Surgeon with a special interest in Endocrine and Breast Surgery at the Royal United Hospital, Bath in 1994, he instigated a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach for Breast and Endocrine Surgery. He established the first Breast and Endocrine MDT weekly meetings from 1995 onwards and was a founder member and surgeon for the Bath Breast Unit from 1995 until he ceased to practice breast surgery in 2021, to concentrate more on Endocrine and General Surgery.
Mr Maddox is fully trained in Endocrine Surgery and as part of that training spent time in the Mayo Clinic, with a scholarship from the British Association of Endocrine Surgery; serving on its National Committee and as Endocrine Surgical Tutor (convening an annual Endocrine Surgical Masterclass) for over ten years.
He now focuses on his extensive experience in General Surgery with a special interest in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Hernia, Thyroid and Parathyroid surgery; providing a rapid personal service to all of his patients. Mr Maddox is passionate about achieving the best possible outcome for their condition with as little stress as possible.
