Mr Lavy is UK Director of GEO (Global ENT Outreach) a charity dedicated to providing ENT care in some of the most deprived countries in the world.  He has recently returned from a trip to Mekele University hospital in Northern Ethiopia where he taught and undertook ear surgery.  He will be returning later in the year when he is hoping to set up a temporal bone laboratory for teaching ear surgery anatomy to junior Ethiopian ENT surgeons.
