About

John is a Consultant Hip and Knee Surgeon at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital who has a high-volume specialist practice focusing on primary and revision hip and knee surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery and lower limb trauma.

John’s patient-centred approach allows him to tailor each patient’s care to their specific needs to ensure they receive the best evidence-based treatment. John has experience in both computer navigation and robotic surgery. He also offers both posterior and direct anterior approaches to the hip, which provide a muscle-sparing approach that leads to reduced scar tissue, faster recover and less post-operative pain.

John was awarded an honours degree in Medical Sciences from Magdalen College, Oxford, and completed his clinical training at University College London. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, having undertaken his higher surgical training on the prestigious Nottingham rotation. John has completed the following internationally renowned fellowships: Complex Joint Reconstruction (Hip and Knee) atthe  University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Hip and Knee Surgery at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford and Major Trauma at King’s College Hospital, London. John has also carried out travelling fellowships at world-renowned centres, including Mayo Clinic, Rochester and Rush University Medical Centre, Chicago.

John is passionate about technology, innovation and a data-driven approach to healthcare. He is a national clinical lead for Litigation at Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT), a national programme for improving patient care across the NHS, which is based at NHS England (the management arm of the NHS) and the Department of Health and Social Care.

John takes a pioneering approach to improving patient safety and care. He is on the advisory board for CORESS, which is a charity managing a national reporting and learning system to confidentially share lessons learnt from unexpected and adverse incidents in surgical practic,e adopting a similar safety model to the aviation industry. John is the orthopaedic representative for the national medical advisory group of the Nuffield Health, previously completing a tenure as the Associate Medical Lead for Clinical Effectiveness and Outcomes, working across all the group’s hospitals nationally.
