Oxford Clinic: Sports injury clinic in Oxford

The Oxford Clinic for Specialist Surgery ("Oxford Clinic") provides patients with fast and reliable access to surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic diagnosis and treatment.  The Oxford Clinic aims to provide a world-class service to all patients with bone, joint and muscle conditions in a clean and friendly environment of clinical excellence.  The founding principles of the organisation include:

• To provide the highest quality of care for patients

• Maintain a clean and safe environment

• Promote clinical excellence

• Provide gold standard customer service supported by ongoing patient satisfaction surveys

The Oxford Clinic was founded by some of the world’s leading orthopaedic specialists whose core principles include the development and promotion of clinical excellence focused on orthopaedic treatment.   Many of the specialists based at the Oxford Clinic are renowned for their contributions to medicine through clinical research and development of surgical and non-surgical technology.  

The founding Consultants partnered with Ascent Health, an international hospital management company, to assist in the delivery of high quality services at a reasonable cost to patients.  The partnership is the first of its kind in the UK and began delivery of services in September 2006. 

Sports injury treatment

The orthopaedic medicine consultants at the Oxford Clinic may treat sports injuries with medication, provided either orally or intravenously and use non-pharmaceutical approaches such as physiotherapy, massage and exercise.

Patients of the Oxford Clinic have access to oxsport@noc, a state of the art Sport and Exercise Medicine Department based at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre.

The multi-disciplinary clinic caters for athletes of all levels, providing a diagnostic and treatment facility, in addition to Performance Testing. The Oxford Clinic specialists work in close collaboration with the sport's specialists at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. The programmes involve a combination of pain control, exercise therapy and provision of aids and equipment.

This optimises physical functioning to enable greater participation in day-to-day activities and enhanced quality of life.

Both of their foot and ankle surgeons are retained by leading National Teams and Sports men and women and offer a full range of management utilising state-of-the-art techniques for all sports injuries, including tendon and or ligament reconstruction, arthroscopy, reconstruction and impingement and fracture management. 

Pain management

Their resident Pain Management Consultant Dr Chris Glynn focuses on this area of orthopaedics. He works closely with his surgical and non-surgical colleagues as part of a multi-disciplinary team to ensure the most appropriate treatment is prescribed for his patients.

Intensive treatment programmes

Sometimes active pain management and rehabilitation from a condition is no longer an option and pain is a chronic condition. The Oxford Clinic works in collaboration with independent healthcare companies to offer a more specialised approach to managing chronic pain, in the form of Intensive Treatment Programmes.

Physiotherapy

Their chartered physiotherapists believe it is of vital importance to understand the psychological, cultural and social factors influencing their clients and aim to bring patients to active roles, in order to help make the best of their independence and function.

Using core skills such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and application of electrophysical modalities they aim to identify and make the most of movement ability by health promotion, preventive advice, treatment and rehabilitation.

Dedicated expert staff

The Oxford Clinic's expert team, including specialist nurses and in-house physiotherapy are specially trained to care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. The Consultants, nurses and therapists are highly skilled and are able to meet the heavy demands of treating complex orthopaedic conditions.  The Oxford Clinic has a resident doctor trained in advanced life support onsite at all times. 

Every member of staff is committed to ensure that patients have a comfortable stay. 

The Consultants at the Oxford Clinic lead worldwide advances in medical technology and are able to treat highly complex conditions.  They have been instrumental in the development of groundbreaking techniques and technology to improve musculoskeletal treatment.  

The Oxford Clinic works closely with the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre NHS Trust (“NOC”), a world-renowned centre of excellence in treating bone, joint and muscle conditions.  The Consultants who work at the Oxford Clinic work at the NOC for their NHS commitments – this makes access to their private patients at the Oxford Clinic much better than other private hospitals in the area.   

All surgeons operating at the Oxford Clinic are employed by the NHS and are required to meet relevant accreditation criteria. This includes participation in ongoing professional development as set out by both the Oxford Clinic and the NHS.  Many Oxford Clinic consultants also work in research and teaching organisations, including the University of Oxford.
