Mr Paul Magill

Mr Paul Magill is an experienced Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon who practices across Dublin, Newry, and Belfast. He specialises in hip and knee replacement surgery and provides comprehensive trauma care for patients with fractures and acute orthopaedic injuries. He holds a substantive NHS consultant post at Craigavon Area Hospital and maintains an established private practice at the Ulster Independent Clinic, the Sports Surgery Clinic, and in Newry.

Originally from Newry, Mr Magill studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin before entering the highly competitive Irish Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgical Training Scheme. After completing specialist training and becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, he undertook 2.5 years of advanced subspecialty fellowship training in hip and knee replacement surgery.

The first 18 months of his fellowship were spent in Belfast with Professor David Beverland, a world-leading expert in hip replacement surgery. Under his mentorship, Mr Magill refined the principles of efficiency, fluency, and precise outcome measurement. He then completed a further year at North Shore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, gaining advanced experience in computer-assisted and computer-navigated joint replacement and revision surgery.

Since joining Craigavon Area Hospital as a Consultant in 2018, Mr Magill has combined his expertise in both planned and emergency orthopaedic surgery. As part of an eleven-consultant trauma team, he performs emergency operations for fractured bones, while his elective practice focuses on primary and revision hip and knee replacements. Alongside his colleagues, he was integral in introducing the first day-case hip replacement service in Northern Ireland.

Mr Magill is a strong advocate for improving patient outcomes through research, audit, and innovation. He holds a Master’s degree in Surgery (MCh) and has authored more than 25 peer-reviewed publications. His research into hip and knee replacement surgery has been recognised with several awards, including the prestigious McKee Prize at the British Hip Society Meeting in 2020. He also serves as a trustee of the Trauma & Orthopaedics Research Charity (TORC).
