A positive way to start the year — prioritising movement, health and long-term wellbeing. I am grateful to all my friends, family, colleagues, students, and patients for a good 2025.

An early walk or run, fresh air and time spent moving are simple but powerful investments in long-term joint and musculoskeletal health. Regular, well-managed activity helps maintain strength, balance, mobility and resilience, while reducing the risk of injury and degenerative change.

In clinical practice, our focus goes beyond treating injury or degeneration. It is about helping people return safely to activity, optimising recovery, and supporting sustainable, pain-free movement over the long term — from acute sports injuries to long term hip and knee conditions.

As 2026 begins, it is a good moment to reset habits, invest in health, and take a proactive approach to musculoskeletal care.

Wishing everyone a healthy, active and successful New Year!

Merry Xmas everyone! Throughout the festive season, our trauma and orthopaedic surgical teams continue to provide specialist care, supporting patients with compassion, precision, and clinical excellence.

Every procedure represents a partnership built on trust—between patient, surgeon, and multidisciplinary team—focused on safe surgery, effective recovery, and long-term mobility.

We are grateful to our patients for their confidence and to our colleagues and partners for their professionalism and dedication.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful Christmas and a healthy, active year ahead—focused on strong joints, bones, reliable recovery, and getting back to what you love in 2026!

Good luck to all our 2025 ! Still remember it. My first today. There will always be challenges and firsts for us all. Remember to , have fun and stick to basics to reduce . Stretch, warm up, hydrate, warm down, eat/train/rest well and go for it! Run or walk! Our job is to help understand patients and diagnose/fix, but prevention always better than cure. Not everyone needs !
