During this time he took a year out in the department of pathology to study and perform original research in Immunology leading to an honours degree. University Teaching Hospital pre-registration house posts led to a broad general training in general paediatrics and medicine followed by more specialised training in general surgery, neurosurgery and otolaryngology. Junior ear, nose and throat surgery posts included prestigious teaching hospital training at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford and both Charing Cross Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London.

In the first year he won the national Downs Temporal Bone dissection prize and was awarded sponsorship to visit the Portmann Ear Institute, Bordeaux, France. Mr Mansell also studied at the House Ear Institute, Los Angeles, USA and won a Fellowship studying Neuro-otology and cochlear implantation in the Professorial Unit, University of Sydney, Australia.
In addition to a strong interest in Otology his training has included advanced Rhinology with extended endoscopic sinus surgery.
