Profile

Those who know Zac will know he is passionate about all aspects of surgical training and has advocated for trainees through elected roles within the Royal Society of Medicine, British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS) and most recently, the British Scoliosis Society (BSS).

Zac is originally from London where he graduated from Imperial College School of Medicine with distinction. He went on to complete his higher specialist training in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery on the Percivall Pott Rotation, during which time he was inspired to pursue a career in Spinal Surgery. He has since completed the integrated Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical National Spine Fellowship in Leeds, in addition to sub-specialist deformity fellowships at Great Ormond Street and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospitals.

Complementing his passion for travel, Zac had the good fortune to receive British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) and AO Spine sponsored travelling fellowships to New York, Philadelphia, and Bologna. He has now joined the consultant faculty in Oxford, where he will continue his learning journey in the world of spinal surgery.

Behind the scenes, Zac has the support of his incredible wife, a GP, and three wonderful daughters, who bring that much needed love, excitement, and balance to his life.
