Mr Peter Thompson

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising exclusively in knee surgery and sports injuries of the lower limb. My NHS practice is at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire and my private practice is based in Warwickshire. I consult at the Warwickshire Nuffield Hospital and the Circle Meriden Hospital in Coventry and also have private operating lists at both of these hospitals. I graduated from Birmingham Medical School in 1992 and after completing house jobs in Birmingham and Worcester I spent 15 months working as a junior doctor in Australia before returning to London to concentrate on surgical training. I completed my specialist registrar orthopaedic and trauma training in London and spent time at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington and the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. It was during this time that I became particularly interested in knee surgery and I therefore spent a six month fellowship in Australia in 2004 concentrating on knee and sports surgery. I took up my consultant post at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire in April 2005. I was Clinical Director of the orthopaedic department from April 2011 until 2015 and was responsible for leading the large team of orthopaedic surgeons who work there. My interests cover all areas of knee surgery from sports injuries to revision knee replacement. I also regularly treat children and adolescents with knee problems in both my NHS and private practice. For further information follow the links on my website to procedures profile. I have links with a number of professional sports teams within the UK including Premiership rugby club. In addition, I am dedicated to the surgical training of undergraduate medical students at Warwick University, junior doctors, specialist orthopaedic registrars and a senior knee fellow. I teach regularly on national and international courses and meetings. I am married to Sally who is an ex-GP and now runs my private practice  together with our secretary Erin. My interests outside of work include competing in triathlon events, cycling, running and skiing.
