Department of Otolaryngology and Audiology, Hôpital D'Enfants Armand Trousseau, Paris, France, 2009.

Towards the end of my time at Trousseau, it was a huge honour to be asked if I would like to consider staying on as an observer until October, with a view to continuing on, after that, in a Chef de Clinique appointment. This was a golden opportunity that I would have dearly snapped up. Unfortunately, the timing clashed with other previously made, very solid, arrangements. I am tremendously grateful to The Journal of Laryngology & Otology for supporting this Fellowship, and also to Professor Garabedian and his team for their exceptional hospitality, approachability and generosity. I have made some excellent friends in Paris. Overall, this was an extremely positive and valuable experience both in terms of family and work.
