About Simon Jameson
Personal Profile
Mr Simon Jameson is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon, specialising in hip and knee surgery at Woodlands Hospital in Darlington.
He grew up in the North East and trained locally in Newcastle and the Tees Valley, West Scotland, and in Exeter. During orthopaedic training, he took time out of programme to carry out research with the National Joint Registry (NJR) as the inaugural research fellow in 2012. He continues to work with the NJR for quality assurance, data completeness and as representative for his NHS Trust and as a Regional Clinical Lead. He sits on the Orthopaedic Device Evaluation Panel (ODEP) which evaluates and provides ratings on the global use of hip and knee prostheses.
Mr Jameson is fellowship trained, having completed the world-renowned Robin Ling Hip Arthroplasty Fellowship in the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre in Exeter in 2015. Additionally, he also completed the Endeavour Revision Arthroplasty Fellowship at James Cook University Hospital. In 2016, we was a visiting fellow to Nijmegen in the Netherlands as the British Hip Society travelling fellow. This was carried out in order to develop his expertise in bone graft use in revision hip surgery. He completed a trauma surgery fellowship at the Major Trauma Centre in Middlesbrough before taking up his consultant post in August 2016.
He was instrumental in the co-ordination and development of a multi-disciplinary team working within the North East for complex hip and knee surgery, infection work and orthopaedic oncology, and co-ordinates regional periprosthetic joint infection and metastatic bone disease regional network meetings.
He leads the hip revision network at the James Cook Major Revision Centre and performs many complex revision hip replacements referred from within the network across the Tees Valley, Wearside and North Yorkshire.
Mr Jameson’s quality improvement project was named 'best in year' at the British Orthopaedic Association Clinical Leaders Programme in 2016. He has been heavily involved in efficiency saving work for the NHS, helping to streamline implant usage and costs with local and regional procurement contract development, and developing bespoke services to improve efficiency in the revision arthroplasty pathway.
He currently runs the Endeavour Revision Arthroplasty Fellowship for orthopaedic surgeons who have completed higher speciality training and wishing to pursue a consultant career in revision hip and knee surgery.
