I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon specialising in surgery of the knee.

Following graduation from Cambridge University in 1989 I returned to my native Leeds to commence surgical training. I completed 2 years of surgical research culminating in an MD higher degree.

A 6 year orthopaedic training programme based in Yorkshire was enhanced by a one year knee fellowship with a leading knee surgery clinic in Australia. This wide experience of knee conditions and surgical techniques has enabled me to specialise in knee surgery.

I was appointed consultant in orthopaedic and trauma surgery at Harrogate District Hospital in 2000 and maintain a busy and active NHS practice. Since my appointment I have been involved in the advancement of minimally invasive (MIS) techniques for knee replacement surgery and frequently host visiting consultants interested in learning these procedures.

A knee fellowship programme under my supervision commenced in 2003, with senior trainees having the opportunity to study knee surgery and be involved in ongoing research studies into ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction and MIS knee replacement.

I specialise in all aspects of knee surgery from reconstruction following sports injuries or trauma, to treatments for arthritis including chondral surgery, uni-compartment and total knee replacement.
