Reviews
I have been so very lucky to have been under the care of Mr N Cameron Hatrick.
He has looked after me and repaired both of my shoulders that had substantial damaged rotator cuff injuries.
He always explained things clearly to me and gave me the time to listen. I am almost as good as new and this is down to his ultimate skill.
I shall forever be eternally grateful to him and would fully recommend him as the "go to" shoulder surgeon.
Many Thanks Mr H
.
I found Mr Hatrick kind,caring and genuinely concerned with my issues. His relaxed and affable demeanour is exactly what is needed when a patient is unwell.
My surgery has gone extremely well and my aftercare faultless.
I happily tell anyone who will listen just how well I’ve been treated.
Perhaps Mr Hatrick could give lectures on how to treat patients when they need support .
The treatment and care I was given by Mr Hatrick was outstanding. He listened to my issues and explained my injury and the process to rectify.
The aftercare was also outstanding with questionnaires regarding my recovery and monitoring of my individual progress by him and his team.
He is without doubt a very focussed and experienced doctor. Specialising in the very complex shoulder joint. Initially I had a little difficult communicating via secretaries. But I understand his long term secretary had recently retired. For the treatment and procedures he clearly explained what my shoulder damage was, and the plan for repair using very high definition CT Scan, x-rays, and a plastic model. Practically no delay when arriving at appointments at the planned times for consultations and follow up assessments. He managed to accommodate my surgery needs into his already busy schedule. Clearly explained what to do and what not to do prior to and after operations. Most important was that he made me feel confident in the process and outcome. Especially as I had never had broken bones before and needed temporary (4 month) steelwork to stabilise the joint to achieve the best healing. Generally made me feel at ease whilst going through the whole steelwork insertion and removal four months later. I highly recommend Mr Hatrick. The Montefiore Hospital is great. Just had some long waits on phone when trying to contact imaging department.

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.

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 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!).
