Publications

I have published over 100 papers and 20 book chapters, almost all concerned with disorders of the shoulder and elbow. It has been a great privilege to collaborate with a great number of people both in the UK and internationally. Subjects range from epidemiology to basic anatomy and biomechanical studies, from clinical outcomes studies to basic cytological science. This work, over the last 20 years but more intensively in the last 10 years, has informed my clinical practice, and has encouraged me to continue in depth investigation of the mechanisms of instability, of rotator cuff biology, the outcomes and design of implants, and the treatment of trauma of the shoulder and elbow.

Courses offered to GPs

- examination of the shoulder
- shoulder pain: causes, differential diagnosis and management
- what to look for when examining the shoulder, and why
- when to operate, and when not, on a rotator cuff tear
- the painful shoulder
- the elbow: when to refer
- the shoulder: when to refer

Post treatment communication

Following treatment of a Bupa member, I will communicate with GPs in line with Department of Health, GMC and appropriate professional bodies guidelines.

In the event of an urgent query following treatment, Bupa members should use the following contact details

1. via the ward at the hospital in which treatment had been undertaken (in or out of office hours);
2. via either secretary (in office hours)

Information for healthcare professionals (Bupa patients only, last 12 months)
