Reviews
Mr Hatrick treated me for my 'bad' shoulder and neck pain but without longterm relief, we decided to go ahead for surgery. The surgery was more extensive than I - and I believe he - expected but I have to say his work was impressive. Nearly 6 months post-surgery I am 90% better and hope to push that to 100% in another 6 months when fully recovered. Mr Hatrick is quite quick in clinic appointments, so you need to know exactly what you want to say and ask, before you go in! However this in no way reflects his skills as a surgeon and I don't think anyone could have done better than he did. I suspect that his long experience makes it routine for him but obviously it's usually the first time for the patient. I have been delighted with the results and was correct to put trust in his skills and abilities.
I cannot rate this consultant highly enough.
I had suffered from intense pain from osteoarthritis in my shoulder for some time, but following a full shoulder replacement, only six weeks after surgery I am pain free and my range of motion is much greater.
With continued physiotherapy I expect this to improve even more.
Because of Mr Hatrick’s considerable skill, even after this short time my scar is flat and just a thin red line.
As well as being an excellent surgeon, Mr Hatrick also has a very kind and caring manner, giving the patient his full attention.
I was referred to Dr Hatrick at the Montefiore Hospital in Brighton with a pain in my shoulder which was causing pain and a lack of mobility. I had been led to believe by a physio that it was a rotator cuff injury but Dr Hatrick quickly diagnosed it as a frozen shoulder. He gave me clear information about the problem and discussed potential treatments, I then had a follow-up guided steroid injection which after a month has dealt with the pain and I now have the majority of my mobility in the shoulder back.
I would certainly recommend Dr Hatrick and would quickly return if I have any joint issues in the future.
Mr Hatrick was really informative and thorough. He diagnosed an issue that everyone else had missed.
Me Hatrick is very kind, caring and down to earth.

He undertook two fellowships in Sydney, Australia, sub-speacialising in shoulder and hand surgery.

In November 1999 he was awarded the Walter Mercer Gold Medal and the Arthur Edward Burton Memorial Prize for his performance in the Intercollegiate Specialty Examination in Orthopaedic Surgery. The following year he was nominated as the British Orthopaedic Association ‘Young Ambassador’ to the Hong Kong Orthopaedic Association at their annual congress.
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. He was the lead orthopaedic surgeon for the Sussex Orthopaedic Treatment Centre from its opening in June 2006 until September 2009. From September 2009 until February 2013 he was the lead orthopaedic consultant for BSUH NHS Trust. He was a member of council for the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS) from 2015-2018.

His practice covers the full range of arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery, including ASAD, arthroscopic and open shoulder stabilisation, SLAP repair, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, shoulder replacement (anatomical and reverse) and fixation of upper limb fractures.
Teaching and Training is a particular interest of his. He is a faculty member of the Watanabe Club, which runs regular shoulder arthroscopy courses around the UK introducing surgeons to arthroscopic shoulder surgery and teaching advanced techniques to established surgeons. He has lectured at international meetings and lectures regularly at Brighton and Sussex Medical School and on the South East Thames Orthopaedic Rotation. He has set up and runs a regular open surgical skills course and, in 2005, he was appointed a Visiting Fellow at the Brighton University Faculty of Health in recognition of his contribution to post-graduate teaching. He is also a member of the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) and the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS).
