Personal profile
He trained at Cambridge University Medical School and, after spending a few years around the area as a junior doctor, moved back to Manchester where he completed his specialist training in trauma and orthopaedic surgery. He subsequently undertook higher fellowship training in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery at the renowned Robert Jones Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry, before commencing work as a Consultant in Manchester.
Mr Davies knows that many shoulder problems can be successfully treated without surgery. He takes his time to speak to patients so they can understand the cause of their problems and treatment options. He confesses that he really loves the variety of his job and gets a lot of satisfaction from meeting and treating all types of people.
He worked for 3 and a half years at Manchester Royal Infirmary, a large major trauma centre, treating all types of common injuries, including complex injuries around the shoulder and elbow. He now works at Wythenshawe Hospital, running specialist shoulder and elbow clinics, and performing trauma surgery. He also performs surgery, such as keyhole shoulder surgery and shoulder replacements at Trafford Hospital’s purpose-built Orthopaedic Centre.
Although he treats most conditions (including rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder and shoulder arthritis), he has a particular interest in using technology to improve the accuracy of surgery, including 3D printing and surgical navigation. He runs some innovative services, including a one-stop clinic for shoulder problems, allowing X-rays, scans, injections and other treatments all to be provided in a single visit.
Mr Davies fosters an interest in elbow surgery. Historically, there were few good treatments for elbow problems and people were left to cope with the pain. Technology and understanding have moved on and we now have some excellent treatments available, including non-surgical treatments for tennis elbow and reliable elbow replacements.
Mr Davies was born and raised in Bury. He is married to a Clinical Psychologist and has 2 little boys. In his free time, he enjoys racket sports and cooking.
