Prof Pollock specialises in the management of hip and knee conditions as well as bone and soft tissue tumours throughout the body. He has a full time NHS practice at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital where he was appointed as a Consultant in 2004. Privately he sees patients at 30 Devonshire St and at the Waterfront Clinic in Elstree. He operates at The Princess Grace and Portland hospitals.

He has extensive experience in hip and knee replacements, robotic assisted surgery and limb salvage surgery for musculo-skeletal tumours.

He qualified at University College London in 1993 with a first class honours degree. His orthopaedic training took place in various London teaching hospitals including UCLH, St Mary's and the RNOH. He then undertook fellowships in Sydney, Australia and Denver, USA where he gained experience in hip and knee replacement, arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, and the management of bone tumours.

In 2008 he was awarded the prestigious American, British and Canadian (ABC) Fellowship by the British Orthopaedic Association. He spent six weeks visiting the premier orthopaedic clinics in North America and the experience he gained has been of great benefit to him and his patients.
