About me

Mr Phillips treats patients with conditions of the knee, specialising in knee arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), joint replacement and trauma surgery. He performs unicompartmental, total and revision knee replacements.

Mr Phillips was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Exeter in January 2015 after completing his specialist training in the East Midlands. He undertook Fellowships training in knee surgery in Exeter and Nottingham, and he undertook a Travelling Fellowship to Chicago. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2013. He now works as one of the knee specialists at the renowned Exeter Knee Reconstruction Unit at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

To complement his training, Mr Phillips also completed a Master’s Degree in Sports Medicine at the University of Bath (receiving a merit award), and was a Medical Team Leader on the athletics track at the London 2012 Olympics treating injured athletes.

Mr Phillips also maintains an active commitment to training, research and governance. He is on the advisory board of both Beyond Compliance and ODEP, national committees that evaluate new knee implants to ensure patient safety. He is on the editorial board of the popular BJ360 orthopaedic journal, and he is also a member of the prestigious AO trauma faculty that trains surgeons in trauma surgery.

Mr Phillips is also the National Clinical Lead for a Peer Support Programme called 'Joint Understanding' with Arthritis Research UK, coordinating peer support groups for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.

Mr Phillips is also experienced using the Mako robot-assisted arm to perform partial knee replacements.
