He worked at many of the major teaching hospitals including The Christie Hospital Cancer Institute, where Andrew was awarded an MD Thesis in 2000 and after a brief period working in America took up a Consultant post at Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2002.

In late 2017 OH was based in Ghana at Bole District Hospital (352 miles inland) where Mr Clarke operated on around 10 hernias per day.
Mr Clarke holds a regular outpatient clinic at The Harbour Hospital and provides consultations for patients with skin lesions, stomach pain, groin pain, lump in the groin, weight loss, rectal bleeding, itching, skin tags, disordered toileting, continence or constipation, urgency to open bowels, pain whilst coughing and anal pain.
