Profile
Charles Willis-Owen: Knee and Sports Specialist in Poole and Bournemouth
Mr Charles Willis-Owen is an Oxford-trained orthopaedic surgeon specialising in knee surgery and sports injuries. With a private practice based in Poole and Bournemouth, he offers personalised treatment using the very latest technologies and techniques for the full range of knee conditions, including sports injuries, torn cartilage and ligaments and knee arthritis.
Training and experience
Charles graduated in medicine from Oxford University in 2000. He undertook his specialist orthopaedic training on the prestigious North West Thames training rotation. In his spare time, he also qualified in Sports and Exercise and Sports Psychology, becoming triple-qualified in orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine and sports psychology.
During his specialist training, Charles was awarded a fellowship at Sportsmed SA, South Australia’s leading sports clinic, which gave him the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s best sports knee and hip surgeons.
Charles was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in 2011, working initially at the major trauma unit at St Mary’s Hospital in Central London and then for four years in South East London. Having developed his skills and reputation in the capital, he relocated with his young family to Dorset.
Charles is passionate about all forms of sport. He has represented Great Britain in the cycling World Championships, competed at international elite level for marathon running and rowed at Oxford University amongst other achievements. This unique experience coupled with his unique training has provided him with a deep understanding of the challenges that athletes and active people of all abilities face and the frustration that injury can cause.

What patients say about Charles Willis-Owen
Aside from being a top-class surgeon, Mr Willis-Owen really understands the concerns and psychological pressures of major sports injuries. The confidence he instilled in me that the surgery would work, and it would be possible to return to high-level competitive sport was priceless. Thank you!
