Mr Alun Yewlett

Written by a patient at Grantham and District Hospital

What can I say about this man that would portray every thought, feelings and gratitude I and my family have for him. Mr Yewlett became my saviour on 9th September 2017 when he stepped into oversee my care and carry out my surgical procedure following a fall that resulted in an open fracture and dislocation of my hand from my wrist. At this time I had no knowledge or understanding of the seriousness of my injuries and that I was at risk of losing my hand due to the trauma I had experienced. This kind surgeon never gave me anything extra to worry about he calmly used his expertise to treat me. I cannot praise Mr Yewlett enough for his dedication to his work and patient care. He is clearly respected by his team and he saved my hand through his amazing skills and if I ever needed (which I hope and pray I won’t) to be seen by a surgeon in orthopaedic medicine again I would want him to treat me. Thank you is simply not enough, but I do thank you from the bottom of my heart.

After a very nasty fall whilst on holiday i was fortunate enough to find on my return to Grantham Hospital a newly appointed specialist shoulder consultant in Mr Alun Yewlett. I was taken into his care and he explained very clearly the extent of my complex injury and told me he could help me, he is easy to talk to and soon gave me the confidence to put myself in his capable hands, i was quite quickly into surgery and job done. The aftercare i received by mr Yewlett and all the nursing staff during my short stay in hospital was excellent, caring and made me feel at ease and i thank them all, my full recovery will take quite a while but i know i am in good hands at Grantham Hospital, nothing was too much trouble to them.

I have received outstanding care from Mr Yewlett. I have had severe pain in my right shoulder, with limited mobility for over a year. I seen Mr Yewlett and within 4-5wks I was booked for surgery. He explained the procedure to me very well and I have received excellent care from him. We are very lucky to have surgeons like Mr Yewlett at Grantham hospital.

Mr Yewlett operated on my arm last Thursday and the operation is a great success. I found Mr Yewlett gave me the courage to have the operation which had to be done since a badly broken arm had not healed after 5 months and surgery was the only option. I was really terrified of having this done but after two meetings I felt confident that he would do a great job and he did. He was very thorough honest and professional and I would like to say a big thank you to him and all of his team. Mrs d Townsend bird

I thought you may be interested in my story. I recently sustained a Nasty crash out Mountain bike trail riding at the Cork Screw Trail, Cannop Cycle Centre Forest of Dean, #FODMTB It was Sunday 15/10/2016 @ around 12pm I collided with a tree head on at 34.2mph causing a severe dislocation to my left elbow in which resulted in a full radial head elbow replacement, (1st ever Full radial head replacement to be done in history of the NHS I believe!) I also snapped my right wrist also resulting in a operation and pin insertion to repair. I was introduced to Orthopaedic Consultant Mr Alun Yewlett at the Royal Glam firstly where he explained to my self and partner exactly what the procedure was for such a horrific dislocation and such trauma injuries I had sustained. On meeting with Mr Yewlett he was adamant that he could fix my arm no problem. He then transferred me to his clinic at Prince Charles Hospital where Altogether I was under the knife for 7&1/4 hours where he repaired my left elbow along with transferring bone material from my left elbow to replace the splintered bone in my right wrist, Absolutely amazing!!! I must praise Mr Yewlett for his absolute 1st class service and treatment he provided my self, Without his knowledge and excellence I don't think I'd be in the condition I am after only 22-23 weeks from my accident!! Also after 12 weeks from accident please note I was back cycling at the same location I received my injuries in the first place!!!! Highly Highly Recommended to others!!!!! Put it this way i wouldn't refer to him as a consultant !!!! I'd class him as a magician because he worked his magic on my self for sure!!! If only I could place my x-ray & injury photos on here you could see exactly what he had to contend with when he met my self !!!! Thanks for taking 5 mins of your time to read my story .
