He undertook Fellowship training at Sportsmed SA, the largest sports medicine hospital in Australia, where he treated traumatic injuries and degenerate conditions in amateur and professional athletes.

Mr Bailey undertakes partial and total joint replacement procedures using minimally invasive and computer-assisted techniques and uses the latest technology in bearing surfaces which aim to increase the longevity of modern joint replacements.
