About

Mr Andrew Shepherd is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Warwickshire, specialising in advanced hip and knee replacement surgery. Born and bred in the Midlands, he returned to work as a specialist in his home region following extensive international training in Australia and Canada. Since 2009, he has served as a Consultant at Warwick Hospital, where his unit was recognised by the Dr Foster Guide as one of the best in the UK for hip replacement outcomes. Mr Shepherd’s private practice at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital (Leamington Spa) is dedicated to helping active patients overcome chronic joint pain through precision-led surgical innovation.

A leading expert in Mako™ robotic arm assisted surgery, Mr Shepherd has performed many robotic assisted hip and knee procedures at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital. This state of the art technology allows for a bespoke 3D surgical plan tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring exceptional accuracy in implant positioning. By combining robotics with minimally invasive techniques, Mr Shepherd minimises damage to muscles and tendons, which is a key component of an Enhanced Recovery pathway. This approach allows many patients to mobilise soon after surgery and return to their daily activities and sports far quicker than with traditional methods.

Mr Shepherd’s clinical expertise is particularly sought after for primary and revision hip replacements. He is a specialist in the use of uncemented Corail/Pinnacle hip systems, high performance Exeter Hips, and hard wearing ceramic on ceramic bearings, which can offer a lifespan of up to 25 years for younger, active patients. In addition to hip surgery, he is an expert in knee health, performing total knee replacements using the latest ATTUNE® knee system. His lower than average revision and complication rates on the National Joint Registry reflect his commitment to surgical excellence and patient safety.

Awarded Orthopaedic Trainer of the Year 2025 in Warwickshire, Mr Shepherd is deeply involved in educating the next generation of surgeons. His patient centred philosophy focuses on “rapid recovery,” utilising specialised anaesthetic techniques and post operative physiotherapy to ensure a true “new lease of life” for those suffering from osteoarthritis or complex trauma. Whether you are seeking a first time joint replacement or a complex revision procedure, Mr Shepherd provides world class orthopaedic care for patients across Warwick, Leamington Spa, Coventry, and the wider West Midlands.
