Background

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Northumbria Healthcare NHS foundation trust with special interest in young adult hip pathology. I am also an Honorary Consultant at Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust.  

I have completed my training in the North East and have done fellowships in joint preservation surgery in Cambridge, London and Switzerland. My area of specialty is the treatment of disorders of the young adult hip and I have established a tertiary referral practice catering to this group of patients with referrals from all over the country. In my routine practice I perform hip preserving surgeries like hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and sports injuries of the hip and periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia using a minimally invasive approach. I do the largest number of joint preservation surgery (150-200) in the North East of England. I also have a wide experience of joint replacement surgery for both young and elderly patients.

Very recently I was awarded the ABC (America-Britain-Canada) fellowship by the British Orthopaedic Association that involved visits to various high profile centres in USA and Canada learning about new systems and techniques.

I am very active in research have completed a PhD in the role of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of disorders of the hip. I supervise research fellows and have enabled them to complete various degrees and projects. I am in the British Orthopaedic Association Education and Careers Committee as the National lead of the UK and Ireland orthopaedic in-training examination, which is an annual assessment of orthopaedic surgeons in training. I regularly teach in national hip arthroscopy courses and mentor consultants to establish similar service in their own trust. I am also an examiner for FRCS T&O.

I am Deputy Editor of the Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery (Oxford University Press), Editorial board member of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, the Chair of UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry (NAHR) and the Chair of Research Education and Mentorship Committee of SICOT.
