About me

Graeme is a consultant musculoskeletal radiologist specialising in sports injury imaging and management. His NHS practice is at Oxford University Hospitals, chiefly at the Nuffield Orthopaedic, a centre of excellence for orthopaedic treatment and research.

He performs the full range of musculoskeletal imaging and injection therapy, including PRP, dry needling, CT-guided nerve root blocks and epidurals. His regular position on the faculty of the International, British, and European Skeletal Society meetings means he is well-positioned to remain on the cutting edge of his field.

Graeme studied medicine and completed his radiology training at the University of Cape Town's Groote Schuur Hospital. He spent fifteen years as the MSK lead in a large Cape Town private practice, developing the service from the ground up. He was a founding member of the South African Musculoskeletal Imaging Group, formed to promote MSK radiology and interact with sports physicians and orthopaedic surgeons. As a part of his sports interest, he was involved in the treatment of athletes from the National Rugby and Cricket Teams as well as triathletes and weekend warriors.
He moved to the UK in 2018 to join Oxford University Hospitals and Oxford Musculoskeletal Radiology.

As a member of the International Skeletal Society as well as the BSSR and ESSR, he has delivered numerous lectures as well as instructed delegates in MSK ultrasound technique. He has also produced several articles and book chapters. At the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, he fulfils his passion for teaching by instructing and supervising trainees. His high work standard has recently seen him expand his services to London.

Graeme was a 1st division club rugby player for the University of Cape Town, later completing 3 full Ironman triathlons, all of which gave him insight into the trials and tribulations of athletes both amateur and professional. His final race was the Half-Ironman Barcelona in 2022, and these days he cycles socially and plays padel with his wife.
