Personal Profile
Having worked in a combination of major London teaching hospitals and busy district hospitals during his basic surgical and Specialist Registrar training posts, he received comprehensive tuition in all aspects of Trauma and Orthopaedic surgery. This was further enhanced during a fellowship year in Brisbane, Australia.
Mr Pope has a large practice in knee replacement surgery, and in arthroscopy (key hole surgery) of the knee. He is able to offer patients a variety of surgical options and his knowledge of the wide range of available knee components, means he can provide patients with personalised advice on the most appropriate prosthetic joint for them.
Mr Pope acknowledges the need to continually develop his clinical skills in the area of knee surgery, and keeps himself up to date by regular attendance at relevant meetings. He has developed an interest in revision knee replacement surgery and has several research publications and presented at local and national orthopaedic meetings.
He also recognises the importance of training 'the next generation' and is actively involved in teaching. As Clinical Tutor, he has responsibility overseeing the training of orthopaedic specialist Registrars in Bath, and he sits on the Specialist Training Committee in the Severn Deanery.
