About me
Mr Michael Thomas FRCS(Ed), FRCS(Orth) qualified at Kings College Hospital, London in 1980. His training in trauma and orthopaedics involved a year in Cape Town, working in part in the trauma unit at the Groote Schuur hospital. He was also a senior registrar on the St Mary’s, London rotation which included training in shoulder surgery by Stephen Copeland at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading and by Ian Bayley at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. He was appointed Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon to Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals, Berkshire in 1994 to establish a service in shoulder and elbow surgery.
He has published articles and book chapters on shoulder and elbow arthroplasty and has lectured on shoulder and elbow surgery nationally and internationally.
