My interview on BBC Tees Radio by Amy Oakden about Daycase Hip replacement

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in Daycase Total Hip and Knee replacement, Revision Hip and Knee replacement, Uni-compartmental knee replacement, Knee arthroscopy, and meniscal injuries.

I am one of the first few surgeons in the country to specialise in Daycase Hip and Knee replacements. This has enabled me to provide the best quality care to my patients.

I have completed specialist orthopaedic surgery training in North East England. During training, I gained exposure to complex arthroplasty and soft tissue knee procedures. Subsequently, I have also completed the highly prestigious arthroplasty fellowship at Golden Jubilee National Hospital. This fellowship provided exposure to Robotic joint replacements, Computer assisted joint replacements, Revision and Complex joint replacements for Hip and Knee pathologies.

I am very passionate about teaching and training. I run an FRCS orthopaedic course at North Tees Hospital. I am also actively involved in organising the Northern basic science orthopaedic course. In addition, I am also involved in teaching MCh orthopaedic students from Teesside University. I am also an educational and clinical supervisor for some of my junior colleagues.

I have research publications in several peer reviewed journals and have presented research papers at various National and International conferences.

Patient-specific treatment

I consider every patient to be unique in their requirements. Therefore I have always tried to provide the best possible treatment choices for every patient. I use current literature and research evidence to make these decisions. I will always listen to you, discuss and prepare a customised plan.
