Mr. Hatrick is a highly qualified and vastly experienced surgeon and one that has operated on both of my shoulders, one recently and the other a good number of years ago. Both of the shoulder injuries were major to say the least. The recent injury to my shoulder is one that many surgeons might not have attempted to repair, it was that bad. However, Mr. Hatrick did repair a massive tear to one tendon as well as tears to others, also performing a long tendon bicep tenodesis. Due to his skill, expertise and total commitment to give his patients the best outcome from their surgery and subsequent recovery, it has been my good fortune to have such a caring and talented gentleman perform the surgery required, he is without doubt a most consummate surgeon. He has given me back the use of an arm, not once but twice, this has allowed me to continue doing the things I love, kayaking, skydiving, swimming, building, etc. If not for Mr. Hatrick's skill and care my life would have been totally different. I can never repay him for what he has done for me.

I have had two shoulder replacements performed by Mr Hatrick. I returned to playing tennis after the first one, a total shoulder replacement in 2020. I hope to return to tennis again after my recent reverse shoulder replacement 4 months ago. I have a fantastic range of movement (a better range than I have had for years) and I am working with the physio team to gain the strength needed for tennis.
Mr Hatrick clearly explained the procedures and outcome. He has performed an amazing procedure and he gave me clear advice and potential outcomes.
My wound is a neat scar, I am virtually pain free, but the persistent burning arthritic pain has gone, I can sleep at night and don’t need any pain medication anymore.
Returning to tennis will be the ‘icing on the cake’, but I have my life and independence back.
I would recommend and I have already recommended Mr Hatrick and his team.
I cannot thank him enough.
The only constructive suggestion I could make is to stress the importance of the physio exercises and although this is done by the physios if it was highlighted by the surgeon and patients were given a timetable of exercises to complete it may encourage compliance.

The whole process from initial consultation to Surgery was pretty quick, it was delayed slightly due to Mr Hatrick’s secondment to Africa, but overall it was a very efficient process.
The pain I had prior to the operation was restricting me enjoying so many aspects of my personal life, especially when it came to fitness.
The recovery has been slightly longer than I had anticipated, but 6 months in I am back to CrossFit and actually able to sleep at night without discomfort.

Profile
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.
The first fellowship was with Professor Michael Tonkin in the Department of Hand Surgery and Peripheral Nerve Surgery at the Royal North Shore Hospital. The second fellowship was with Professor David Sonnabend in the Department of Orthopaedics, Prince of Wales Hospital and also with Professor William Walsh in the Orthopaedic Research Laboratories in the same hospital.
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. He is currently Medical Director of The Montefiore Hospital in Hove. 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 is a faculty member of the Watanabe Club, which runs regular shoulder arthroscopy courses around the UK introducing surgeons to arthroscopic shoulder surgery and teaching advanced techniques to established surgeons. 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!).
