After completing general surgical training through the West of Scotland Surgical Training Programme and obtaining FRCS in General Surgery, he moved to the Nottingham area in 1998 to take part in the foremost ENT training programme of the time. Having completed this specialist training, he undertook a fellowship in Australia in otology and neurotology along with paediatric ENT and rural ENT medicine. On returning to the UK he was appointed jointly to to the post of ENT consultant at KMH and QMC in 2005.

He currently works at QMC and KMH and has established a weekly children's clinic at Newark. Along side NHS work, he consults privately at the Spire Hospital and also operates there. He  has a well established private practice over the past 15 years or more.

Neil is active within teaching and examines for the intercollegiate exam for the Royal College of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (the examine that surgical trainees must pass to complete training and become independent consultants) and is on the board of examiners, he examines for the European Board Examination in ENT and is named supervisor for trainees in ENT and is involved in all aspects of teaching and training.

Dr Fergie has also been actively involved in research throughout his training and has been awarded MD from University of Leicester in the field of cochlear neuro-protection and is involved in research into the cause of otitis media with effusion (glue ear).
