He’s also widely recognised for his research, which has been published extensively and recognised across the globe. Furthermore, he is frequently invited to give keynote lectures, both nationally and internationally

As well as these accomplishments, he played a fundamental role in the introduction of spinal navigation surgery in the UK and he has been essential in teaching this technique to other generations of surgeons. At the RNOH, Mr Molloy has introduced spinal robotics and performed the first robotic-assisted surgery in the NHS. The RNOH has been chosen as the lead European training site in robotic spinal surgery, meaning that he will be leading the training of UK and European surgeons within this speciality.
