Current Practice

His patients typically present with hip pain or knee pain and he will provide assessment and diagnosis along with personalised treatments plans tailored to the needs of each individual patient.

Hip problems in the young adult, hip resurfacing monitoring and revision, treatment of hip arthritis, hip replacement surgery and hip revision surgery are his major interests.
Orthopaedic patients are accepted from all private insurance companies and Mr Ward also treats a number of patients who choose to pay for treatment themselves. Patient who self pay are able to book an appointment for an orthopaedic consultation without a GP referral letter.
