About
Mr Wakeling is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon specialising in hip and knee surgery, including primary & revision joint replacement and arthroscopic surgery of the knee.
He completed undergraduate training at Leicester University Medical School in 2005, where he also underwent foundation training. He then moved to Cornwall for Core Surgical Training, before higher specialty orthopaedic training in the South-West London training programme, including rotations through Chichester hospital and 18 months at the St George’s University Hospital joint reconstruction unit.
After completing FRCS (Tr & Orth) in 2015 and being appointed to the specialist register in 2017, he went on to fellowship training at the world-renowned Ling Fellowship at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre in Exeter, where he further developed his practice of complex primary and revision hip arthroplasty. Following this he undertook a further fellowship run by the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (Stanmore), based in St Albans Hospital, with the knee and hip replacement team, gaining further experience in primary and revision joint replacement.
On completion of fellowship training, he was appointed to a consultant NHS post in 2019 at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester. He has a specialist interest in primary hip and knee replacement, revision hip replacement and arthroscopic (keyhole) knee surgery, including cartilage surgery.
