I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital NHS Trust, with a private practice at Spire Claremont Hospital.

I specialise in arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder including shoulder decompressions, rotator cuff repairs, arthrolysis for frozen shoulders and instability surgery (including Bankart and SLAP repairs). I also perform shoulder and elbow replacements for arthritic joints and have a special interest in trauma surgery including sports injuries of the shoulder and elbow.

I completed a fellowship at Wrightington Hospital, a centre of excellence for surgery of the upper limb and a further six months as a fellow at the Cappagh Hospital, Dublin to obtain further training in surgery of the shoulder and elbow joints. I have also trained with other world renowned shoulder and elbow surgeons and worked with Dr Sean O’Driscoll at the Mayo clinic, Rochester USA, Dr Gartsman, Houston, USA and Dr Joe DeBeer at his Cape Town clinic in South Africa. I have started orthopaedic clinics at Sheffield Children’s Hospital to treat children suffering from pathologies of the shoulder and elbow.

I am a member of BESS (British Shoulder and Elbow Society) and the British Orthopaedic Association. I am a reviewer and have recently been appointed on the editorial board of the British “Shoulder and Elbow” journal.

I have also published extensively in all fields of orthopaedic surgery. I have presented shoulder and elbow papers at numerous national and international meetings and am on training faculty for courses on the shoulder and elbow joints. I am also an Honorary Senior lecturer by the University of Sheffield.
