Mr Rupen Dattani Consultant Shoulder & Elbow Surgeon

Mr Rupen Dattani graduated from University of Wales School of Medicine in 1999 and undertook his basic surgical training in Oxford and Reading. This was followed by two years of research at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) in Stanmore for which he was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine (MD) from University College London (UCL).

He entered higher surgical training in Trauma and Orthopaedics on the South West Thames training program and was able to tailor his training to complement his sub-specialist interest in shoulder and elbow surgery. In 2011, Mr Dattani obtained his Fellowship in Trauma and Orthopaedics (FRCS-Orth) and was placed on the Specialist Register (CCT). He was awarded two prestigious fellowships in shoulder and elbow surgery in Cambridge and at the internationally renowned Reading Shoulder Unit. He has also completed a Trauma Fellowship at a Level I Trauma Centre in Vancouver, Canada.

Mr Dattani has a strong belief that the high quality of medical care we enjoy today has a foundation in well controlled research. In accordance with this belief, he has published over 20 articles in peer reviewed journals and has presented his work at both national and international conferences. His main research interests are in assessing patient outcomes following shoulder surgery. He is also an author of a book used in the teaching and training of junior surgeons and has also authored book chapters for orthopaedics textbooks.

He was appointed as a Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Chelsea & Westminster NHS Foundation Trust in 2013.
