Greg's surgical philosophy is built on three tenets:

- Teamwork - with high volume, subspecialized multidisciplinary groups such as the GOSH Craniofacial Unit and Neurovascular Team.
- Open, honest and full communication with children and families at all stages of their clinical journeys. He encourages families to contact him directly with questions and values open discussion about the pros and cons of surgical decisions.
In addition, Greg strongly believes surgical and academic excellence go hand-in-hand and regularly presents and publishes research internationally, as well as holding multiple local and national neurosurgical training roles. He is honorary Senior Lecturer at UCL, as well as honorary Consultant Neurosurgeon at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
