About me

Miss Bailey graduated from Cardiff Medical School in 2011 and trained across London, Oxford and Wessex. She completed a paediatric orthopaedic fellowship at University Hospital Southampton. She also completed a research fellowship for the British Association for Surgery on the Knee, with a focus on patellofemoral pathology for which she was awarded the BASK President's Award in 2022.

She works at Southampton Children's Hospital and Portsmouth University Hospitals managing the full spectrum of knee pathology in under 18s. Most conditions requiring surgical management can be done so arthroscopically, irrespective of the size/age of the child. She provides an acute knee service for children across both sites and works closely with physiotherapists within the hospitals and the community to provide multidisciplinary care for children with knee problems. She has a passion for keeping young people active and engaged in their sport whilst respecting the differences and challenges that are associated with growing children.

Miss Bailey's main research interest is in ACL injuries in women and teenage girls. She chairs the Women's ACL Orthopaedic Steering Group. This is national group linked with the British Orthopaedic Association and the British Association for Surgery of the Knee, looking to increase the evidence base relating to ACL injuries and their management in this patient group. She has presented her work both nationally and internationally.

Miss Bailey is a trustee for the charity Power up to Play, an injury prevention charity advocating an evidence based warm up to reduce serious knee injuries in children. She works closely with local sports clubs to support injury prevention. She also works with a national strategy group targeting injury prevention.

In her spare time as well as spending time with her husband and son, she enjoys practicing what she preaches and engaging in strength training in the gym, as well as baking and playing football if time allows!
