He gained FRCS (T+O) in 1999, and then completed an Arthroplasty and Sports Injuries Fellowship at the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group in Australia, a renowned orthopaedic unit treating many elite and Olympic athletes, in the Olympic year 2000. Research included possible techniques to improve earlier return to normal function after arthroscopic cartilage surgery, and he became familiar with the early development of novel techniques and operations which are now widely practised.               

In 2001, he completed a paediatric Orthopaedic Fellowship at the world renowned Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, prior to taking up his consultant post in Milton Keynes specialising in knee surgery, hip surgery, paediatric orthopaedics and trauma.

He has lectured and taught on national and international courses on topics including arthroscopy, chondral injury management, partial (unicondylar) knee replacement (UKR), total knee replacement (TKR ), and ACL reconstruction. This allows him to constantly review ways of enhancing techniques, aiming to continually improve results as new evidence becomes available.

Interests outside of medicine include, enjoying spending time with family and friends, golf, skiing, tennis, rugby ( watching ), and cycling.

Mr Flynn was MAC (Medical Advisory Committee) Chairman at BMI Saxon Clinic for 3 years , following 2 years as T+O representative.

He has driven the adoption of a Rapid Recovery Programme, now being implemented and refined at the General hospital, to safely reduce in-patient stay post operatively, improve pain management, and enhance recovery. These positions have afforded valuable insight into wishes and aspirations of patients, which he tries to reflect in his consultations, and continue through a whole treatment, from referral to discharge, with each and every patient, whether seen at the University Hospital or at BMI The Saxon Clinic.
