I had a shoulder replacement performed by Mr Hatrick 12 months ago on the NHS. I cannot fault the process from the first appointment through to my recent 1 year follow up. I have a lot more use in my arm and am pain free. It was a very successful procedure.
My only suggestion would be to choose a different physiotherapist for the follow up. The physiotherapist I was referred to appeared to know little about shoulder replacement needs.

Mr Hatrick performed surgery on my right clavicle - which was badly fractured after a fall off my mountain bike. I had surgery just two weeks after the accident at PRH, Haywards Heath. Mr Hatrick inserted a metal plate to help the bone knit back together. The operation went very well and Mr Hatrick's skill in inserting the screws into such a small piece of bone was exceptional. His stitching has also drawn compliments from everyone who has seen my scar. Very neat! Six months on, and the bones have knitted back together well and while I have some stiffness in my shoulder, this should resolve over the next year, and I am able to complete 99 per cent of my usual daily tasks. I would recommend Mr Hatrick for anyone who requires shoulder surgery. He also comes across as a very nice person.

I underwent a Total Shoulder Replacement in 2016. Unfortunately the socket became loose, probably as a result of infection in the bone, and I had extremely limited movement in my arm as well as experiencing significant pain. In 2022 I was referred to Mr Hatrick because of the complicated nature of my condition. Mr Hatrick recommended a Revision Total Shoulder Replacement with the ball and socket reversed. Mr Hatrick fully explained the nature of the operation, including the risks and the possible outcomes. He carefully answered all my questions and filled me with confidence that I was in good hands.
The operation was carried out at the Montefiore Hospital in Hove on 6 July 2022. Mr Hatrick was assisted by a second surgeon as is the case with such a difficult operation.
Mr Hatrick saw me twice in the evening after the operation and either he or the other surgeon saw me every day I was in hospital. He was very happy to answer all my questions. I remained in hospital for 5 nights and received intravenous antibiotics while lab results were awaited. At no time did I experience any post operative pain.
Mr Hatrick asked me to start rehab exercises a couple of days after the operation, and again there was no pain.
Mr Hatrick has seen me for two follow up appointments, which included X rays, to monitor my progress. It was reassuring to remain under his care. I am now signed off until 12 months after the operation.
My progress since the operation has exceeded my highest expectations. I now have full movement in my arm and my muscles are rebuilding. I feel like a new person.
I am absolutely delighted with the treatment I received from Mr Hatrick and his team. I am so grateful for all the care I have received. It has given me my life back.

In 2001 he was appointed as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, now the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH). He has developed a successful multi-disciplinary, ‘one-stop’ shoulder clinic based in Lewes Victoria Hospital with an on-site radiology colleague undertaking investigations as required and advanced physiotherapy practitioners reviewing patients alongside him in the clinic.
