Dr Andrew Hogg

Dr Hogg is a Consultant in Sport, Exercise & Musculoskeletal Medicine based in Sheffield. He has an adult and adolescent private practice and is the only non-surgeon to be part of the highly regarded Sheffield Orthopaedics Ltd (SOL) group.

He qualified from Newcastle University in 2006 before training in a range of acute medical specialties around Manchester. Following a post-graduate degree in Sport & Exercise Medicine at Trinity College Dublin, he completed higher specialist training in Sheffield between 2012 - 2017. He was appointed as the first NHS Consultant in Sport & Exercise Medicine in South Yorkshire in 2020. He later handed his NHS practice over to his former trainee in 2024 to further focus on elite sport work. Throughout this time, he gained invaluable experience in the management of musculoskeletal disorders and physical activity related injuries. He has also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, enhancing the accuracy of diagnosis and guided injection.

His role as a Consultant in Sport & Exercise Medicine at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals was one of a relatively small number of jobs of its type in the country. Despite the job title, this was not just about looking after keen sportspeople, but any patient with an issue affecting their ability to be as active as they would like. He routinely manages a wide range of patients with complex musculoskeletal problems referred by GPs, physiotherapists and other Consultants from various specialties.

Outside of the NHS he is Sports Medicine Regional Lead at the UK Sports Institute in Sheffield, treating injuries and illnesses in elite athletes from a range of Olympic and Paralympic sports, and is the Brain Health medical lead for the Institute. His other main role is as Chief Medical Officer to Yorkshire County Cricket Club. This involves overseeing the medical care for the professional men's, women's and regional academy squads, as well as the Northern Superchargers Hundred franchise.

He has a particular interest in youth and adolescent sport, in which he has held multiple roles. He was Chief Medical Officer to Team GB at the Youth Olympics, travelling overseas with 40 elite athletes aged 14-17, and was the Chief Medical Officer to the UK School Games for several years, leading a team of 40 other doctors and physios in providing medical support to youth athletes across a wide range of sports. Within his NHS practice he held a specialist clinic at Sheffield Children's Hospital, seeing adolescent patients from across the region with sports related injuries. He was also previously the team doctor with Scottish Rugby's under 16 squad.

He was previously the team doctor to the GB Boxing squad for 10 years, having travelled with them to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and was a HQ medical officer for the Paris 2024 GB Paralympic team. He has also been Head of Medical for Scotland Rugby League, Chief Medical Officer for British Wheelchair Basketball and British Universities Sport, as well as club doctor for Leeds Rhinos & Sheffield Eagles RLFCs. Through his career to date he has been part of the medical team at 3 Olympic Games, 3 Paralympic Games, 2 Youth Olympics, 3 Commonwealth Games, 5 World University Games, 1 World Cup, 7 World and 6 European Championships.

He believes the principles of treatment and rehabilitation he applies to international and professional athletes are just as pertinent to all members of the public and aims to employ this holistic approach to care with all of his patients.

He has always had a passion for sport away from work too. A former junior international badminton player, he enjoys racket sports, rugby and skiing. Since moving to Sheffield he has developed an interest in climbing, cycling and golf. He is also a qualified SCUBA diving instructor and previously spent a year in Australia teaching on the Great Barrier Reef!
