About me
Professor Chris Peach
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon � Specialist in Shoulder & Elbow Surgery
About me
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in problems of the shoulder, elbow, and traumatic injuries of the upper limb. My expertise in arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery is recognised internationally, and I regularly train other surgeons in these advanced techniques. For many patients, minimally invasive surgery means faster recovery, less pain, and an earlier return to everyday life or sport.
Alongside arthroscopic surgery, I also perform joint replacement surgery, complex fracture treatment, and reconstructive procedures for patients with arthritis, instability, or post-traumatic conditions. My approach is to listen carefully, explain options clearly, and agree a treatment plan that is right for each individual patient.
I look after elite athletes across a wide range of sports, including rugby, football, tennis, golf, mixed martial arts and climbing. Working at this level keeps me at the forefront of the latest advances in sports injury management, techniques and rehabilitation. The same knowledge and expertise are applied to all my patients � whether you are competing professionally, playing at your local club, or simply wanting to stay active in daily life.
NHS & private practice
I am a Consultant at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, one of the UK's largest teaching hospitals, and hold the position of Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Manchester.
My private consultations are mainly based at the OrthTeam Centre, a state-of-the-art private healthcare facility in Manchester that offers world-class expertise with rapid access to advanced diagnostics. I also consult at Spire Manchester Hospital and Spire Cheshire Hospital.
I am the founder of the Cheshire Shoulder and Elbow Clinic, which has been recognised multiple times for excellence, including awards for Best Sports Injury Specialists and Leaders in Sports Injury Treatment.
Training and expertise
� Medical training: Imperial College School of Medicine, London.
� Orthopaedic training: London, Oxford and the North West of England.
� Research degree: University of Oxford � awarded the Royal College of Surgeons of England Research Fellowship, studying the genetic basis of shoulder osteoarthritis.
� Specialist Fellowships:
o Wrightington Upper Limb Unit (Prof Ian Trail, Prof Len Funk, Mr John Haines).
o Sheffield Shoulder & Elbow Fellowship (Mr David Stanley, Mr David Potter).
o Mayo Clinic, USA (Dr Shawn O'Driscoll, world leader in elbow surgery).
o British Elbow and Shoulder Society North American Elbow Fellowship (2013).
This advanced training allowed me to develop expertise in complex shoulder replacement, shoulder instability surgery (including bone-block and Latarjet procedures), rotator cuff reconstruction, and complex elbow surgery.
Research and teaching
I am visting Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, School of Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester. At the University of Manchester, I lead a research group exploring novel materials for tendon regeneration and bioabsorbable implants for fracture surgery. As ex-Chair of the Research Committee for the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS), I am committed to improving outcomes through high-quality research throughout the United Kingdom. My work has been supported by the Royal College of Surgeons of England and recognised with national research awards.
I am regularly invited to teach and lecture nationally and internationally, training other consultant surgeons in arthroscopic skills, joint replacement, and complex reconstruction.
Outside of work
I live in Altrincham with my family. Away from surgery, I enjoy playing racquet sports and competing in triathlons.
