Thank you for the many lectures that have been organised at Beau Arts and on Zoom

These lectures keep my knowledge and understanding up to date and tells me when to refer on the the Consultants

I can’t speak highly enough of the online events that the midland orthopaedic practice have been running. I’ve attended 3 so far and each one has been extremely informative with expert speakers. Can’t ask for anything better, especially when it is free. I look forward to attending many more in the future. Thanks.

Excellent educational sessions. Just watched Mr Herron on foot and ankle. Some brilliant tips for helping patients manage conditions.

The webinars have been extremely useful with knowledgeable and informative speakers. Michelle is always helpful and efficient. Thank you to the whole team.

Really commendable effort taken by the entire team to conduct the zoom sessions. The talks I have attended have all been really informative and useful. The zoom sessions made it possible for heath professionals like me who are not based In Birmingham to attend . Thank you.

Excellent updates on management of orthopaedic conditions in unprecedent times

It has been a pleasure to have seen many of your information sharing seminars. I have found them to offer useful and practical information, imparted in an easy to understand and uplifting manner. I enjoy going to seminars but having attended these from the comfort of my own home is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and giving me the opportunity to conveniently continue educating myself.

These sessions are informative and informally run. They are extremely useful for gaining a better understanding of current orthopaedic surgical approaches.
I have found them very useful for my physiotherapy students to access if they want to gain a greater depth of knowledge in these areas.
Michelle is super organised. The communication is great and the sessions are very well run.

The lectures are excellent
great evidence based content correctly targeted for audience
great delivery always
questions patiently answered expanding upon content
love the zoom presentation for busy people I prefer it as I can hear and see more clearly better than lecture hall

Extremely valuable series of presentations from eminent Consultants, using real life case studies, which makes a world of difference....as do the accompanying slide decks.

These lectures and presentations should be on everyone's list who is involved with MSK and orthopaedic management and provide important CPD/CME points and a clear referral pathway for your patients.

Education seminars over the past few years have been excellent!
Grateful for all the specialist knowledge and expertise shared, and have found the networking beneficial too.
Many thanks for all your time and hard work delivering the sessions.

Thanks for organising another fantastic CPD event. These ‘lockdown’ sessions have been great, especially as the focus has been on conservative management in primary care settings - so directly related to my practice! The comprehensive knowledge of the speakers is second to none with their overview of the subject, discussion of the evidence and their review of the current situation is really helpful. I will continue to have every confidence in referring patients to the the various members of the Midland Orthopaedic Practices.

In the five years that I have been under the care of Mr Hussain for Partial Knee Replacement surgery to both knees I would be very happy to recommend him to anyone contemplating this surgery in the future , His Kindly manner and general expertise are to be especially recommended.

All presentation have been brilliant - as a practitioner 'outside' the NHS it is really helpful to see what is going on behind the scenes and how the specialists work. Being provided with up to date research and current thinking is invaluable to help support and guide patients.

The online lectures have been well presented and informative, keeping me up to date with what is happening at the moment

Excellent study sessions - which have really captured the difficulties Covid has brought with being a clinician during these times. They have enabled me to find the best avenues/pathways that can help my patients. Thank -you

Well organised and easy to access sessions. Interesting and up to the minute information from experienced and renowned clinicians. Thank you for sharing this valuable chance to update and clarify treatment options available from our local experts.

I enjoy taking part in the lecture series and always take away something from the lecture; whether it is revision, an update or new information. As a private practitioner, the contact with the surgeons is appreciated and Michelle puts a lot of time into making this programme so effective.

The educational sessions have always been excellent.The organization has always been superb

I am glad to be part of 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.

Professional footballer West Bromwhich Albion F.C. and Iceland national team

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.

48 years old Self employed Builder

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!

Guitarist Black Sabbath

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.

I would like to say thanks to Mr Learmonth for the excellent job on my knee, I am a professional athlete and thanks to him and Lucy from the physiotherapy I am back to my full training. Thanks very much.
