About me
I qualified from the Welsh National School of Medicine in Cardiff in 1984. I presently hold a NHS Consultant Post at Wrightington Hospital for Joint Disease and at Chorley and South Ribble District General Hospital being appointed in 1995. I immediately took up the position of Clinical Director in Chorley and set up and established the department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery in Chorley. This involved a lot of hard work as well as teamwork and communication within and outside the Trust. I was Clinical Director for almost five years, after that I decided to take a back seat from management and concentrate on my clinical work, teaching and research.
I undertook my specialist training in Orthopaedic and Trauma at the North Staffordshire Hospital in Stoke on Trent and at the Robert Jones Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry one the leading specialist orthopaedic hospital in the UK. In addition to this I spent a considerable amount of time travelling and visiting centres both in Europe and the USA to discuss and exchange ideas on the latest techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery.
During my training I was awarded G K Rose Prize for Biomechanics and the Professors Medal for my research into bone cell culture techniques related to fracture healing. I regularly attend national and international meetings as a member of the faculty and as a delegate. I take an active part in teaching trainees at both my hospitals.
In March 2019 I was invited to joined the Villar Bajwa Practice at the Princess Grace Hospital London, which is leading practice in joint preservation surgery of the hip and knee joint. I am available for consultation in London on Tuesday and Wednesdays (http://villarbajwa.com).
