Very professional, easy to talk to and inspired confidence. Excellent result from surgery (total shoulder replacement). A year later, totally pain free. Shoulder slightly weaker (as anticipated) but fully mobile. Back to gardening and all usual activities.

I can only use my arms and so my shoulder are very, very, very important to me. I have had 4 surgeries under Mr. H. and he has enabled me to live independently and stay out of care homes etc. I have met many consultants in my life and had to have many surgeries and I cannot recommend him more highly.

I was today discharged having had what I understand was a fairly difficult Rotator Cuff operation 6 months ago by Mr. Hatrick which included shaving a bone spur. I was an NHS patient and I can not praise the system enough, I was admitted as a day patient exactly as scheduled, I have seen Mr Hatrick several times at stages before and after the operation right up to todays discharge. The operation has been very successful after some years of pain. I am very grateful for all the care I have received. B D House

I was referred to Mr Hatrick at Lewes Hospital on the NHS and then elected to have shoulder surgery at the Montefiore Hospital privately (so I could chose the date of my operation). He is an excellent doctor, with a wealth of knowledge and expertise and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He explains everything briefly but clearly at every stage and is easy to talk to. Most importantly, he is a very competent surgeon - I am no longer in daily pain and have the neatest three crosses following my keyhole surgery!

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!).
