Martin has been a consultant plastic surgeon in the South Tees Hospital Trust on Teesside since 1998. Shortly after his appointment, he was asked to be clinical director of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the Middlesbrough General Hospital, and following the move of the unit to the James Cook University Hospital in 2003, has continued in that post to date. In that time the unit has grown from two to five consultants and now offers a comprehensive range of reconstructive plastic and microsurgery.

In private practice since 1999, but with a three year period of inactivity required to build up the NHS unit.

His basic medical training was undertaken at Guys Hospital in London
Career junior (Senior House Officer) plastic surgery positions at the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield and St. James's, Leeds led to his appointment to a training Registrar position in Leeds in 1993. Additional training in Bradford and the Australian Cranio-facial unit in Adelaide, South Australia, for the whole of 1995 before gaining specialist registration as a plastic surgeon in 1998.

Whilst not undertaking a period of formal research he has been first author of many published and presented clinical papers some of which are quoted in the international standard reference works of reconstructive plastic and hand surgery. In 1996 he won the Kay Kilner Prize for a work on Measuring Outcomes in Plastic Surgery. He has lectured at home and internationally on plastic, breast and micro surgery, with a particular affinity for the Indian subcontinent, where he believes the potential for plastic surgeons is enormous.

A member of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS, formally BAPS), and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, Martin was the first overseas life member of the Indian Association of Reconstructive Microsurgeons. He has chosen not to seek membership of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
