Dr Skidmore completed surgical training in Australia and the United Kingdom and has undertaken further professional development in bariatric and metabolic surgery. During his time in the United Kingdom, he worked with bariatric surgeon Mr Shaw Somers and gained experience in primary and revisional bariatric procedures.

He participates in multidisciplinary cancer meetings and works with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals to support coordinated treatment planning.

 

In addition to upper gastrointestinal, bariatric and cancer surgery, Dr Skidmore performs general surgical procedures for gallbladder disease and hernias and contributes to emergency surgical care where required.
