Cameron Hatrick clearly explained the procedures and how I would benefit from the operation. The operation was a great success completing more repair work than initially expected. I'm very happy that I have been signed off with almost full range of movement and pain free. Very liberating after 8 years of physio and injections to manage pain.

I saw Mr Hatrick following a long period of physiotherapy on my shoulder which was not improving. The appointment process was very quick, and following an initial consultation I was referred for an MRI. Post the MRI, I attended a followup appointment and his frank diagnosis on what the causes could be as well as the options to resolve were a relief despite an ambiguous scan. During the appointment we discussed surgery, and I elected to undergo surgery to ascertain the issue under arthoscopy. We discussed what he may do during the surgery and he was quite reassuring in what was required. Following the surgery he gave me a thorough briefing on what he had done, and to my relief it was minor in comparison to the other options he may have undertaken. My recovery period has been fantastic, backed up with regular physio sessions but I have full range of movement again, without pain!

Mr. Hatrick operated on my left shoulder, which had been giving me pain for 2 or 3 years during which time I had a number of injections and physiotherapy. It was finally decided that a Total Shoulder Replacement was the only remaining option. I had the operation on 4 July 2018 and am writing this review on 5 November 2018. Everyone at the hospital were professional and caring. I felt safe, cared for and grateful to them all and I can honestly say that I owe a new lease of life to Mr. Hatrick and his team. The operation was followed by physiotherapy carried out by Radius Healthcare at Sussex County Cricket Club who were kind and took great care with the follow up treatment. I now have no pain in my shoulder and my mobility and quality of life has improved to the point that I need to take care not to overdo it, especially in my garden, which I love. Thank you all.

Cameron Hatrick is clearly very knowledgeable, but this has made hime open-minded rather than dogmatic, in his diagnosis and treatment.
He listens well and treats you as a person, rather than a set of symptoms.

Profile
Cameron Hatrick trained at Clare College, Cambridge and St. Thomas’ Hospital, London qualifying in 1990. He underwent Basic Surgical Training on the St Bartholomew’s rotation, London and then specialised in Orthopaedics on the South East Thames Orthopaedic rotation.
He undertook two fellowships in Sydney, Australia, sub-speacialising in shoulder and hand surgery.
The first fellowship was with Professor Michael Tonkin in the Department of Hand Surgery and Peripheral Nerve Surgery at the Royal North Shore Hospital. The second fellowship was with Professor David Sonnabend in the Department of Orthopaedics, Prince of Wales Hospital and also with Professor William Walsh in the Orthopaedic Research Laboratories in the same hospital.
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. He is currently Medical Director of The Montefiore Hospital in Hove. 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).
Cameron is married with three children (all now in their 20's) and enjoys playing tennis (unfortunately being beaten easily by his son!), cycling, skiing, hiking on the Downs/ in the Lakes/ Snowdonia, sailing and windsurfing (fair-weather only nowadays!).
