I have had the best NHS care imaginable under Mr Hatrick for my recent, "Open Shoulder rotator cuff repair". I had a speedy referral from BSUH virtual clinic after a biking accident. Mr Hatrick diagnosed that the Supra and infraspinatus were both damaged after a scan, and that open repair would be necessary. My surgery was given urgent attention due to total loss of mobility of my arm, I am normally a manual worker. I had sustained 5cm tear at Supra and infraspinatus which required 3 Anchor fixings and sutures to the abraided bone. Currently I am at 12 weeks post-op and making great progress with strength and full range of movements, whilst still undergoing daily physio work. I feel sure that this is a very well executed surgical repair and should prove to make full recovery . Whilst under Mr Hatrick's care, his treatment centre and clinics have been so efficiently run , I would say they are a great advert for the much maligned NHS .

I recently underwent a 'Right Delta Xtend Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement + Glenoid Graft. The operation was performed by Mr Cameron Hatrick assisted by Mr Robin Turner at The Montefiore Hospital, Hove, Sussex. The operation has been a 100% success. Following instructional physiotherapy, within 3 months my shoulder is painless, strong and fully functioning. My grateful thanks to the skill of the surgeons and to all the staff at The Montefiore Hospital who cared for me. I feel priviledged to have had my operation there.

Mr Hamrick has been my doctor for nearly fifteen years. I have had four shoulder and elbow operations ,all done with the same great care, before, during and after them all. He listens and advises the best treatment for you. I never felt rushed by him, and was always given clear diagnosis and advice for a speedy recovery. I can not praise him highly enough. A great doctor and surgeon.

Cameron Hatrick is a superb surgeon. From the initial consultation to the final check up he has been faultless. The operations have gone really well, and I have full range of motion in the shoulder, no nerve damage, and a very clean scar.

Mr Hatrick operated on the rotator cuff on my left shoulder middle of October 2016. He explained in detail what procedure he would undertake and explained the pitfalls there might be. Arranged for me to have an MRI Scan and discussed with me the results in great detail. He listened to my concerns about the operation but, it was his confidence that by proceeding with the operation, that there should be a great improvement in the movement of my arm. The end result - everything he informed me of has turned out to be accurate. Since my operation' I have had two post operable checks and in his words " I shall see you again in April just to make sure that everything is going well". A brilliant Surgeon!. ,

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.

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 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!).
