Bristol, UK
The
Jonathan Webb Sports and Orthopaedic Clinic
is located within the BUPA Hospital Bristol,
one of the largest hospitals in the BUPA group.
Knee surgeons at the Clinic:
Dr Webb is the Clinic founder. He is a general
knee surgeon, but has a special interest in
ACL and multi-ligament injuries as well as
primary knee replacement using 3-D computer
navigation for accurate placement of the prosthesis. His colleague, Dr Jonathan Eldridge,
is a 'lower limb' surgeon, and has a particular
interest in the patello-femoral joint, and
his expertise includes trochleoplasty and
trochlear re-surfacing.
The reception staff are friendly. The hospital
has pleasant, though somewhat small, waiting
areas, and coffee and snacks are available. Full X-ray and imaging facilities are available
on site. English is the main language spoken and there
are no special arrangements for international
patients but the airport
is not far by car and arriving by plane would
cause no particular problem.
 |
Consulting rooms are basic. There are four operating theatres, and
two other smaller theatres for minor procedures. Two medical officers are resident
in the hospital 24 hours a day to handle emergencies.
|
 |
The bedrooms are basic, but pleasantly-furnished,
with in-room TV.
There is a dedicated customer service provider,
who deals with self-pay patients.

The rehab unit is small but
well-equipped and is managed by Geoff Clark
who joined the clinic from Australia. He ran
his own physiotherapy practice in Australia
for nine years, and played rugby for Australia
schools and Queensland under 21s. Geoff has
considerable experience of treating elite players
including Australian national rugby players,
and UK premiership team members. Along with
his practice work he has also been a regular
lecturer for the Australian Sports Medicine
Federation and has spoken at the British Institute
of Musculoskeletal Medicine. Geoff also works for part of his time at Gloucester
Rugby Football Club. |
