Simon Moyes: Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, London

 

Simon Moyes qualified from The Middlesex Hospital in 1982 and completed his first house job with the Queen's Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sir Rodney Sweetnam, at his teaching hospital. He then undertook a Trauma rotation, in Cambridge, for a year before returning to London to study for his primary FRCS, the first part of the Fellowship of The Royal College of Surgeons.

 

In 1985 he completed a surgical SHO rotation based at St Bartholomew's Hospital where he rotated through The National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, Queen Square, amongst other central London hospitals. He then spent one year at Cheltenham General Hospital where he obtained his General Surgical Fellowship, the "FRCS" and gained considerable operative experience in general vascular and neurological surgery.

He spent 2 years in specific orthopaedic surgical training as an Orthopaedic Surgical Registrar at The Westminster Hospital, London before obtaining a Senior Registrar's rotation out of The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in 1989.

 

Having won a research fellowship, he took six months out of his training programme at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital to work at the Clinical Research Centre in Northwick Park Hospital. Whilst the Senior Registrar at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital he was able to rotate through other centres of excellence, including Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College Hospital.

Mr Moyes was one of the first Senior Registrars in the country to sit the New Specialist exit exam for orthopaedic surgeons, the intercollegiate FRCS Orth, which he passed in 1991. In 1992, he started a twelve month post as a lecturer in Orthopaedics at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and also organised visiting fellowships in the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney and the Southern California Orthopaedic Institute in Los Angeles. 

He took up a post of Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at UCL Hospitals in London in 1994 with a special interest in arthroscopic surgery in sports medicine and went into full time private practice in 1997.

Mr Moyes consults at The Wellington Hospital in St John's Wood, The City of London Medical Centre in the city and 30 Devonshire Street in the West End where he does seven private clinics and two full operating lists per week. 

His main orthopaedic interests are arthroscopic and minimally invasive treatment of problems of the knee, shoulder, foot and ankle. Research interests currently are the development of minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques for the knee, shoulder, foot and ankle.

 

He has written extensively for newspapers, medical journals and magazines. Even though his key topics of interest are ankle, shoulder, and foot injury he has also written about other specific areas including bunions, sports injury, skiing and injury prevention.

To carry out an effective and accurate diagnosis of your problem, he combines the latest in sophisticated technology with his considerable experience as an orthopaedic surgeon.

 

Each diagnosis takes about 30 minutes, and Simon is available for follow-up discussions as often as you need.  Because Simon works out of a number of clinics throughout London, the diagnosis can take place at the most convenient time and place for you.

 

You will be given all the information that you need, so that you make an informed decision on the best course of treatment for you. This will take into account your lifestyle and your physical expectations (does your job depend on recovering a high level of fitness quickly, or do you just play the occasional game of football in the park?).

Simon specialises in keyhole – or arthroscopic surgery. This is a highly sophisticated, minimally invasive technique which means you spend less time in hospital and you’re more likely to have a quick recovery. It is ideal for many orthopaedic procedures in joints, such as removing torn cartilage, ligament and tendon reconstruction and smoothing out bone defects.

 

Surgery takes place at the Wellington Hospital in London where expert staff are dedicated to getting you back on your feet as soon as possible, using the latest physiotherapy techniques and top levels of aftercare.

 

Simon is available for post-surgery consultations with all patients and can give them all the information they need for a speedy recovery.
