Mr Hatrick operated on a massive rotator cuff tear to my right shoulder on 3rd January this year. My ability to use my right arm is improving each day. I am very much indebted to this gentleman, he has helped me enormously. I am a scaffolder by profession so strong arms are a must for my work. I have just returned to light duties at work and I am hopeful that my full strength will be restored during the coming weeks.

Mr. Hatrick has an easy relaxed manner, a cheeky smile and a lovely disposition. Like most patients, I was very nervous to have an operation for the first time in my life. Mr Hatrick’s manner eased my concerns. My shoulder replacement went extremely well. I healed very quickly and the scar is barely noticeable two and a half years later. I had my other shoulder replaced last year and it has been just as successful. I would highly recommend Mr. Hatrick to anyone who needs this type of operation. The after care was also very good.

Mr Hatrick is an excellent surgeon. He operated on my left shoulder after I had fractured/dislocated it. I was given advice to the best treatment by Mr Hatrick which I valued. I was advised after having my operation that my shoulder was still not correct but Mr Hatrick reassured me that my shoulder should go back which I was pessimistic about in the first instance but it did go back as he said. This saved me going through further surgery. He told me that I would not regain full movement of my arm was very pleased that I have 150 degree movement in it now. I am very happy because without Mr Hatrick I feel the outcome could have been very different.

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!).
