Mr Hatrick is a master in his field. My opinion is based on the excellent piece of surgery he performed on my left shoulder in May 2016.I had two severely torn tendons, I could not lift my left hand above my elbow.To date January 2017 my shoulder is 90% recovered, the remaining 10% is the natural caution I reserve after having major surgery.I actually had a choice of surgeons prior to my operation, the first gentleman did not fill me with confidence, I was very pleased to find Mr Hatrick who specialises in shoulder surgery. The key issue is can the surgeon fix you, Mr Hatrick can!

There is no way I could sum this man up. I'm not sure I can convey the impact of what he has achieved for me with a bit of typing, I can give the usual and well deserved nod to all at Lewes, Haywards Heath and Brighton for pre and post op care and I am very fortunate to have such a healthcare system available to me. Nothing but lovely. Mr Hatrick though a review just for him? Everything I want and expect in someone with that role, professional, courteous, knowledgeable - find all the words you like and insert here. Tidy stiches etc all good, for me though from day one I thought he would get the job done and he has (/ is!), spare all the details but operating on both shoulders removing excess bone. Movement up, pain down. Magic. Life changing. Gobsmacked. The mind boggles Mr Hatrick, a glimpse into your world is sure to impress anyone and I for one am glad the world includes you. Dean.

Mr Hatrick performed a shoulder replacement on my right arm in November 2015. The operation went very well and my right arm is better than ever and virtually back to total full use. I am very pleased with the result, Mr Hatrick is a very skilled surgeon. I did not have much pain after the operation or since, nothing that an ibuprofen couldn't sort out at least. The scar is fading and I am using bio oil to help Mr Hatrick is a very pleasant man with an underlying sense of humour

I cannot recommend Mr Hatrick enough! Lucky for me a chance meeting with a GP who listened to me about the issues I was having with my shoulder, led to a referral to see Mr Hatrick after months of ineffectual and costly physio had not helped my pain. I was examined and sent for an x-ray, and then to have a ultrasound guided steroid injection. When this had no effect after a few weeks, I was booked in for an MRI scan, which showed some issue in my shoulder and surgery was the next option. I've now had the surgery and i'm now recovering. Mr Hatrick has been brilliant for me through the whole process and made me feel very comfortable with the decisions made. He's very friendly, explains everything clearly, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs advice on a shoulder issue.

Mr Hatrick's prognosis of my shoulder injury was dealt with very efficiently and with the degree of care and empathy which exceeded my expectation. The process of surgery and aftercare was carried out with experience and I would throughly recommend Mr Hatrick.

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!).
