About me
As an NHS in Cardiff over the last 25 years, Rhys developed a specialist interest in shoulder and knee surgery. Until his retirement at the end of July 2025, he was actively involved in trauma care at Cardiff and Vale UHB and worked closely with colleagues in the knee unit, shoulder unit and trauma unit.
He continues to provide a private service for knee and shoulder surgery.
Other interests - surgery of the knee and shoulder with soft tissue reconstruction, arthroscopy and joint.
