Nicholas Ker qualified at London University (Middlesex Hospital) and underwent an orthopaedic training rotation at Westminster, University College and Whittington Hospitals between 1984 and 1988.

He became a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in 1988 and now works solely in private practice.

Mr Ker has a broad training in orthopaedics and has developed a special interest in joint replacement of the lower limb, especially revision hip arthroplasty and sports injuries.

He performs a large number of lower limb arthroscopies, ligament reconstruction of the knee and also undertakes decompressive back surgery.

Personal profile:
I am married with three children of school age and most of my time is spent encouraging the children to do their many sporting activities.

My own interests include gardening, motoring and almost any sporting activity - sadly mainly as a spectator these days!
