I am glad to be part the lecture series. All the sessions are well organised and very informative.

Very informative and generous in light of the Covid era making CPD more difficult

Great in depth lectures with extensive range of subjects. There's always something to take from every one that can be used in practice.

Always very informative. The professionals delivering the talks are excellent and always hang around to answer any questions.

I am very glad to be part of this lecture series. Excellent lecturers, salient Q;A’s and up-to-date evidence summaries make this my go-to online CPD choice. Attendance certificates also help support my FCP pathway. Keep them coming please!

Excellent talk - interesting, informative and relevant

Excellent clear to follow webinar 22/02/21 presented by Mr. Duncan Learmonth.
Reviewed common knee pathologies that present in primary care as well as EDs. Advice given about management, including symptoms and signs that warrant orthopaedic referral. Important "do not miss" diagnoses covered.

I have been very impressed with the professionalism and the level of care provided by Mr Green. I found Mr Green to straight talking and willing to openly discuss the surgical options available to me. His competence as a surgeon allowed to return to full time professional football. I would recommend him to anyone.

My shoulder is brilliant, no pain whatsoever I am working flat out 12 hours a day, just finished building a house with my son....

I tore the tendon in my shoulder when I fell off a ladder at work 2 years ago.It was very painful. I had a scan and an open operation to repair the tendon, but I was in more pain than ever , I still could not work. The surgeon suggested another operation.. that's when I asked my GP to send me to a Shoulder Specialist.

I saw Mr. Learmonth who sorted the tear out by micro surgery (Keyhole) and the shoulder soon became more comfortable and the shoulder is now brilliant. I feel I wasted 2 years trying to get better following the first operation which made me worse. Having a specialist clinic for shoulders makes sure you know your surgeon knows what he is doing!

As a local resident, I really appreciated having the Shoulder Clinic at the Priory Hospital in my area.

The speed in which my case was looked at was impressive - it seemed like no time from the initial referral to the operation. The keyhole surgery was carried out without too much discomfort and the recovery time was minimal.

Being a guitarist, any shoulder problems are a real cause for concern, but thanks to Duncan Learmonth and his team at the Priory Hospital, my shoulder is now considerably improved.

Given the number of people I have spoken to who have similar problems, I think a specialist clinic is really important for the Birmingham area.

Professional Bodybuilder

My name is Ernie Taylor I am a professional bodybuilder by trade, I also write a monthly column on training and nutrition in the flex magazine. I have had shoulder problems since 1994, I searched high and low for a top surgeon but wasn't so successful as my first surgery was in 1997 and so to speak it wasn't very good.

I was recommended to Dr Duncan Learmonth in 1999, my career was on the line as I could no longer be active in the sport, and shoulders were so bad I had problems clothing myself; I went from bodybuilder to invalid. Mr Learmonth operated on my left shoulder in April 1999, and then the right shoulder in July 1999.

To cut a long story short I was back to lifting weights within 6 months of surgery, I felt great shoulder were fantastic it was as if I was touched by the hand of God so to speak, I became competitive once again and by no time I was ranked No 1 in Europe and top 8 in the world.

4th July 2004 I was in a motor cycle road traffic accident where my shoulder didn't take kindly to the kerb, giving me an 8 cm tear of the supraspinatus and Infraspinatus. I was once again in search of Dr Learmonth as the previous 5 yrs my shoulders have been 100%, by the 8th July Dr Learmonth got me in through a cancellation just before he went away on a 2 week vacation, and to be quite honest I would have waited with the pain for him to return before seeing anyone else.
