About Jonathan Palmer
Personal Profile
Mr Palmer is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with a subspecialty interest in knee surgery. He has expertise in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a broad range of knee conditions. Combining this expert medical knowledge with compassionate care he delivers personalised treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Mr Palmer graduated from the Royal Free & University College Medical School in 2008 with a 1st Class BSc and MBBS. The same year he was awarded a certificate of merit and the John Fitton Prize for Orthopaedics. In 2022, he completed the Trauma and Orthopaedic specialty training programme for the Wessex Deanery. In 2014, he took time out of programme for research. The culmination of this research period led to the award of DPhil from the University of Oxford with a thesis entitled “The role of surgery in early osteoarthritis of the knee”.
Mr Palmer has completed two international fellowships. A sports injury fellowship at Unisports Orthopaedics in Auckland and a lower limb arthroplasty fellowship at North Shore Hospital, Auckland. He has received specialist surgical training in primary and revision knee replacement surgery, robotic assisted surgery, peri-prosthetic fracture, knee ligament reconstruction and knee preservation surgery.
He has visited multiple centres of excellence for knee surgery across Europe. These trips have been supported by bursaries from both the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA Travelling Fellowship) and Worshipful Company of Barbers (Ronald Raven Barber’s Award).
His NHS practice is based at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust where he manages a broad range of knee disorders as well as upper and lower limb trauma.
Mr Palmer sees both privately insured patients and self-pay patients. He will see patients without a letter of referral. He requests that any prior investigations are made available to his PA prior to review.
Consultant quote:
“Through my clinical experience, research endeavours and academic pursuits I have developed expertise in all aspects of knee surgery. My approach focuses on state-of-the-art surgical techniques and non-surgical interventions, ensuring that patients are fully informed of the options available to them and offering them the best possible care. I work closely with physiotherapists and allied health professionals to create comprehensive rehabilitation plans that will enable a smooth and effective recovery process.”
