I saw Mr. Hatrick for a second opinion after receiving non surgical treatment following a shoulder dislocation. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions and explained his approach to my problem. I have had day surgery when once again he explained the procedure and the hoped for outcome. Follow up care has been excellent and I am well on the road to regaining my lost independence. Thank you so much.

Hi. Mr. Hatrick and the staff did a great job, however getting through the system from the initial GP diagnosis of the shoulder injury to effective help took two years, prior to this every form treatment was tried, the first effective treatment was a cortisone injection guided by ultra sound at the Victoria Lewes, this alone took two years to arrange, this led to four years of relief, and then required another cortisone injection which unfortunately was only good for a few months and then surgery which was first class. The main problem has been trying to arrange effective treatment with the GP, whose failures were many, much pain was endured leading to a severe mental breadown.

Mr Hatrick was very professional, considerate, and had a first class manner with me. At first I was given non-surgical treatment however it wasn’t to be and Mr Hatrick carried out surgery after explaining everything clearly. Aftercare was first class and I am very pleased that I can return to a near normal lifestyle. H Holiness.

I was recommended to Mr Hatrick through a friend who had received great treatment for shoulder issue. I also had the same issue. Mr Hatrick had the first consultation with me and immediately knew what I needed to help with my shoulder problem. I am a fit and active person, but the shoulder issue had been going on for a year and I finally saw Mr Hatrick in February 2016. He explained everything to me, and agreed to undertake the Capsular Release operation. By April 2016, I was at Princess Royal hospital for day surgery. He attended to me personally, which is a great touch. He reassured me with exactly what he was going to do and he was totally professional. After the operation, he showed me exactly what he had done through some pictures, which were of a great help. The two post operative appointments were in a very timely manner and I believe my quick rehabilitation was down to the technical expertise of a great surgeon. I definitely recommend Mr Hatrick to anyone who has shoulder issues.

My shoulder operation and aftercare went to plan, my appointments have been on time on each occasion and Mr Hatrick could not have offered better care.

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!).
