Professional Profile
Dr Hogg is a Consultant in Sport, Exercise & Musculoskeletal Medicine based in Sheffield. He has an adult and adolescent private practice at Thornbury Hospital and is the only non-surgeon to be part of the highly regarded Sheffield Orthopaedics Ltd (SOL) group.
He qualified from Newcastle University in 2006 before undertaking further training in a range of acute medical specialties around Manchester. Following a post-graduate degree in Sport & Exercise Medicine at Trinity College Dublin, he completed higher specialist training in Sheffield between 2012 - 2017. He then worked in elite sport and private practice before being appointed as South Yorkshire’s first NHS Consultant in Sport & Exercise Medicine at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals in 2020. He later relinquished his NHS practice in 2024 to further focus on his elite sport work. Throughout this time, he gained invaluable experience in the management of musculoskeletal disorders and physical activity related injuries. He has also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, enhancing the accuracy of both diagnosis and guided injection.
His role as a Consultant in Sport & Exercise Medicine at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was one of a relatively small number of jobs of its type in the country and the only one in South Yorkshire. Despite the job title, this was not just about looking after keen sportspeople, but any patient with an issue affecting their ability to be as active as they would like. He routinely manages a wide range of patients with complex musculoskeletal problems referred by GPs, physiotherapists and other Consultants from various specialties.
Outside of the NHS he is the Senior Sports Physician at the UK Sports Institute (formerly the English Institute of Sport) in Sheffield, treating injuries and illnesses in elite athletes from a wide range of Olympic and Paralympic sports. This includes being the Chief Medical Officer to GB Para Badminton and British Para Table Tennis, as well as being the Brain Health medical lead for the Institute.
His other main role is as Chief Medical Officer to Yorkshire County and Northern Diamonds Cricket Clubs. This involves overseeing the medical care for the professional men’s, women’s and regional academy squads. He is also a Medical Officer for the Paris 2024 GB Paralympic team, Head of Medical for Scotland Rugby League and match-day doctor for Leeds Rhinos and Premiership Rugby.
He has a particular interest in youth and adolescent sport and has held multiple roles in this area. He has been Chief Medical Officer to Team GB at the Youth Olympics, travelling overseas with 40 elite athletes aged 14-17, and was previously the team doctor with Scottish Rugby’s under 16 squad. He was also the Chief Medical Officer to the UK School Games for several years. Within his NHS practice he held a specialist clinic at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, seeing adolescent patients from across the region with sports related injuries.
He was previously the team doctor to the GB Boxing squad for 10 years, having travelled with them to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. He has also been Chief Medical Officer for British Wheelchair Basketball and British Universities Sport, as well as club doctor for Leeds Rhinos and Sheffield Eagles RLFCs. A number of these roles have included attending major international sporting events and through his career to date he has been part of the medical team at 3 Olympic Games, 2 Paralympic Games, 2 Youth Olympics, 3 Commonwealth Games, 5 World University Games, 1 World Cup, 6 World and 6 European Championships.
He believes the principles of treatment and rehabilitation he applies to international and professional athletes are just as pertinent to all members of the public and aims to employ this holistic approach to care with all of his patients.
As well as his clinical positions, he also has a number of educational and governance roles. He sits on the Faculty of Sport & Exercise Medicine UK Council, helping to shape the continued development of this exciting young specialty, as well as examining on their membership exams. He is part of England Netball’s Integrity & Clinical Governance Advisory Group, where his wealth of experience helps advise on good medical governance for the sport.
He was a member of the England Boxing Medical Commission for 5 years, guiding nationwide medical policy and regulation for the sport at all levels. He contributed to the development of the International Boxing Association’s current concussion guidelines. He regularly teaches on the Rugby Football Union’s Pre-hospital Immediate Care in Sport course, training other doctors and physios how to manage acute injuries on the pitch. He is an accredited UK Anti-Doping educator, helping to teach athletes and support staff about the range of anti-doping implications in elite sport. His NHS role saw him acting as Educational Supervisor to Sport & Exercise Medicine specialty trainees in the region and he is an examiner for the University of Sheffield Medical School practical exams.
He has always had a passion for sport away from work too. A former junior international badminton player, he enjoys all racket sports, rugby and skiing. Since moving to Sheffield he has developed an interest in climbing, cycling and discovered a love of golf during the COVID lockdown. He is also a qualified SCUBA diving instructor and previously spent a year in Australia teaching on the Great Barrier Reef, but admits to preferring this in warmer climates than the UK!
