About Dr Michael Burdon

Graduating from the Royal Free Hospital, University of London in 1994, Dr. Burdon initially pursued a career as a general practitioner (GP) in a busy city practice. However, his passion for sports and exercise medicine (SEM) led him to further specialise in this field.
In 2004, Dr. Burdon completed a diploma in SEM, followed by obtaining an MSc at Bath University in 2010. His dedication and expertise led to him becoming a Consultant in 2013 after being added to the GMC Specialist register.
Over the last 9 years Dr Burdon has been working at Pure Sports Medicine and is now working full time in the Kensington clinic. He has also been an examiner on the sports medicine MSc course in Bath and more recently at QMUL, London.
Dr Burdon is a keen runner and has completed several marathons and 2 previous ultramarathons. He enjoys attending the gym also on a regular basis.

Notably, he provided medical coverage for all aquatic sports at the London 2012 Olympics and has accompanied teams on international tours, such as the diving squad to Mexico and GB Hockey tours to India and Malaysia. His contributions to sports medicine also extend to disability football and the under 18 England squad.

Helped a great deal with identifying issue post surgery
I've been to see Dr Burdon on a few occasions now most recently for shoulder pain, which as a long distance swimmer was a concern. He's always been very clear in explaining what is going on, and what my options are to address the issue. I'd highly recommend him.
I visited the doctor last summer. After a few visits, he referred me to a surgeon. I have now completely recovered from my injuries, and I am very happy with the overall experience.
Dr Burdon was incredibly kind, reassuring and patient throughout the whole process of discovering and treating the pain I had. The follow-up has also been thorough and attentive. Most importantly, my pain has completely gone. I feel really well looked after and I wouldn’t hesitate to return if I ever needed to. Highly recommended and deeply appreciated.
Thank you so much for your very thoughtful review. It has been a great pleasure to help with your injury. Wishing you all the very best... Mike.
