Consultants in other hospitals (including Dorchester and Salisbury) will make tertiary referrals to James to help patients with these type of conditions.

Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Manners has a long-standing commitment to medical education and leadership.

He has been a senior faculty member and Franchise Director for the Tomorrow’s Teachers course and has been linked with Southampton Medical School as Associate Clinical Sub-Dean, where he has played an active role in training and supporting future doctors.
