Mr Cameron Hatrick

I trained at Clare College, Cambridge and St Thomas’ Hospital, London qualifying in 1990. I underwent Basic Surgical Training on the St Bartholomew’s rotation, London and then specialised in Orthopaedics on the South East Thames (SET) Orthopaedic rotation.

I was awarded the Walter Mercer Gold Medal and Arthur Edward Burton Memorial Prize for my performance in the final FRCS (Tr & Orth) exam in 1999. The following year I was appointed as the British Orthopaedic Association ‘Young Ambassador’ to the Hong Kong Orthopaedic Association at their annual congress.

My clinical interests include : All aspects of arthroscopic (key hole) shoulder surgery including subacromial decompression (ASAD), rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic stabilisation and release for frozen shoulder. Total shoulder replacement (anatomical and reverse) and revision shoulder replacement, fixation of shoulder and clavicle fractures and ACJ dislocations, tennis elbow.

In 2000 I spent a year on Fellowship in Sydney, Australia sub-specialising in shoulder and hand surgery before taking up my post as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton in 2001.

I have developed a successful multidisciplinary, ‘one-stop’ shoulder clinic based in Lewes Victoria Hospital. I undertake all aspects of shoulder surgery including arthroscopic procedures, fracture fixation and primary and revision joint replacement.

From 2009-2013 I was the Lead Orthopaedic Surgeon for BSUH NHS Trust. Since 2014 I have been the Medical Director of The Montefiore Hospital in Hove. I served on BESS council from 2016-2018 and am currently a member of the BESS Instructional Course Committee. I have been an examiner for the combined Royal Colleges’ FRCS (Tr & Orth) exit exam since 2017.

Teaching and training is a particular interest of mine. I am a faculty member of the Watanabe Club, which runs regular shoulder arthroscopy courses around the UK introducing surgeons to arthroscopic shoulder surgery and teaching advanced techniques to established surgeons. I have lectured at international meetings and lecture regularly at Brighton and Sussex Medical School and on the South East Thames (SET) Orthopaedic Rotation. I have set up and run an open surgical skills course for the SET rotation and, in 2005, I was appointed a Visiting Fellow at the Brighton University Faculty of Health in recognition of my contribution to post-graduate teaching.
