After years of severe pain I was referred to Mr Hatrick. Both he & his entire team were splendid. I had ultra sound & x-rays. It was apparent that I had a very damaged shoulder. The procedure that Mr Hatrick put me through was professional, kind, educated, knowledgeable & at all times I felt that I could not be in better hands. I had no qualms about the operation although at the time I did not realize just how major the surgery would be. The Rotator Cuff operation was carried out at Haywards Heath very efficiently & successfully. It has now been 6 months since my operation & although the rehabilitation has been long I can feel that it has all been worthwhile. I cannot thank Mr Hatrick enough for the work that he & his team have done He is a true credit to his profession. Thank you very much John Kirk

Cameron Hatrick is a credit to his profession. During consultations and conversations with him for pre operative, post operative and follow up care, all processes and procedures were explained in a friendly and caring way. He is a a good listener and communicator and puts you at your ease at all times. He has now performed two shoulder operations on me and my life with lesser pain is oh so much better and therefore I have to say he is a very skilled surgeon. A note to all hospitals and consultants use his approach to patients as the model template.

Mr Hatrick operated on my 90 year old mother.i cannot speak more highly of him ,the treatment and care ,she received by him and his staff, I year later . She now has no pain ,and able to lead a better quality of life. Also I would like to thank Lewis and Haywood Heath hospitals for their wonderful care. For a ninth old lady this was so very important . The treatment could not have been any better if she was a private patient . From Mrs W Burns

Mr Hatrick kept me informed all along the way. He was very approachable and put me at my ease. I had complete trust in him and his surgical abilities.

In April 2016 I had a total shoulder replacement. From my pre-op tests all the way through to my operation and aftercare I was kept fully informed and received excellent care. The operation was very successful and I now have complete use of my arm. The physio I received after my operation was also very beneficial. I cannot recommend Mr Hatrick and his team highly enough.

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!).
