Frimley Park Hospital

Mr Mike McErlain undertook his training in Aberdeen.  Early in his surgical training, Mr McErlain decided that he would want to specialise in spinal surgery.  After completing the P-Company and Jumps Course, Mr McErlain joined the Paras, and it was at this time that he developed an interest in Sports Medicine.

Mr McErlain has recently returned from Camp Bastion in Afghanistan, having worked within the hospital which is one of the busiest trauma centres in the world.  He also runs regular clinics within Headley Court, providing treatment for injured service personnel and facilitating their rehabilitation.  His military career has thus provided him with a wealth of experience with spinal and orthopaedic traumas, as well as the treatment of spinal conditions in sportsmen and women. 

Mr McErlain has played rugby for the Hampshire Colts and his University’s first team.  He enjoys skiing, ski mountaineering and climbing, as well as many watersports.  He has completed the Military Diving Medicine course, which is Health and Safety Executive approved.

Mr McErlain has been a participant in many charity events, including The Marathon Des Sables, cycling back from Bosnia as well as an annual 44 mile run on 6th June along the Normandy Beaches to raise money for the British Limbless Ex-serviceman’s Association.

Mr McErlain is married with three young children who are also very active.
