Mr Nev Davies

Nev is a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) surgery working in Reading, UK. His NHS practice is based at The Royal Berkshire Hospital and he has worked there for the last 10 years. He consults privately from Spire Dunedin Hospital and Circle Hospitals. His subspecialty specialist interests are in children‘s orthopaedics and adult knee surgery. His practice manager is Debbie Rollason who has worked closely with Nev for the last 9 years. At the turn of the millennium, after 6 years of study and an intercalated BSc. in Neuroscience, Nev qualified as a Doctor from St Marys Hospital Medical School in London. In 2001 he completed his house jobs at St. Mary’s and Wexham Park Hospital, and then started a 3 year basic surgical rotation in and around London, including T&O jobs at Kingston Hospital and at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Stanmore. Nev then spent 6 years on the Oxford Specialist Registrar Rotation in T&O incorporating a children’s fellowship at Westmead Kids in Sydney, Australia. He started his consultant post at the Royal Berks in 2010 on his return from Australia .Nev has an interesting dual practice as he treats all musculoskeletal conditions seen in children, as well as adult knee conditions. He is one of only a handful of surgeons in the UK who has expertise in treating knee problems in patients of all ages through from new-borns to elderly patients. He is often referred difficult cases for second opinions from all over the UK.  His other particular interest is that of prevention of children’s sports injuries, and is currently leading a task force of UK knee surgeons looking into this important topic. Nev is also a keen educator and has been the Orthopaedic Tutor at the Royal Berkshire Hospital for the last 4 years. This involves looking after the training of the junior doctors rotating through the department.  Nev is invited faculty to teach at several UK courses on Trauma and Orthopaedics, including the AO Paediatric Trauma course and the UK Miller Revision course. He has also been invited as Faculty at the inaugural Children’s Knee Conference in Sheffield in 2018 and the Warwick Sports Knee Conference 2019 to talk on injury prevention.  Out of work, Nev’s life revolves around his sporty young family. Nev has a busy family life with 3 young boys under 13  and a very sporty wife who is an ex-GB triathlete and also a consultant at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Although his sporting love is rugby and particularly supporting Wales in Cardiff, he gets his competitive buzz from playing golf. He was captain of the scratch first team at Frilford Heath, where he was a member for 10 years. Currently Nev has been focusing on getting super fit and Ultra endurance running. He completed his first 100Km race in Summer 2019, raising over £11,000 for the Royal Berks Charity
