On his return Mr Burston was selected at Bristol for his 6-year higher surgical training rotation in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Following becoming a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2010, Mr Burston secured prestigious fellowships in Perth, Australia and at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. He has been a high-volume revision Hip and Knee consultant surgeon since 2013, at the world-renowned RJAH, in Oswestry, and at the Nuffield Hospital in Shrewsbury.

Mr Burston is widely published in peer review journals, with over 30 articles, mainly in the field of hip replacement surgery. He has presented at multiple international and national conferences. He is the local principal investigator in several national research trials. He was one of the senior authors of a landmark randomised control trial, run in Oswestry demonstrating the superiority of focused shockwave therapy over steroid injections for lateral hip pain. Mr Burston enjoys teaching, serving as faculty on many national and international courses and has a Diploma in Medical Education from the University of Bristol. In 2019 he was selected as the sole British representative for the American Hip Society prestigious Rothman-Ranawat travelling fellowship.
