About me
Mr Platt is a Consultant lower limb surgeon specialising in knee and hip surgery.
He commenced his medical studies in 1994 at St Mary's Hospital, London and qualified in 2001 achieving a Distinction in Surgery. He was a prize-winner for his overall performance in final medical exams. In addition to his medical degree, he has been awarded two further degrees; a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Neuroscience from Imperial College, London and later he was awarded a scholarship to Oxford University where he studied at University College, Oxford to complete a Master of Science (MSc) in Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology).
Mr Platt completed his higher Orthopaedic surgical training on the North West Thames Higher Orthopaedic training programme, working in Central London specialist centres including Charing Cross Hospital and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital as well as several busy District General Hospitals. He undertook subspecialist training on a fellowship in soft tissue knee surgery and knee arthroplasty (replacement) at Tunbridge Wells Hospital, Kent.
He returned to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to take up an appointment as a Consultant hip and knee surgeon where he worked for two years before moving to Hillingdon and Mount Vernon Hospital where he worked in between 2017 and 2025.
Mr Platt now works full-time in the private sector.
