About Mr Harry Bulstrode

Harry Bulstrode is Honorary Consultant Neurosurgeon at Cambridge University Hospitals where he performs over 100 spinal operations per year, primarily via the latest minimally-invasive approaches- visit www.cambridgespine.one to find out more.

Mr. Bulstrode has additional specialist interests in stereotactic brain surgery for movement disorders, including deep brain stimulation and radiofrequency ablation, and is Principal Investigator at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, where his laboratory studies stem cell biology in cancer and treatment of movement disorders. His research focuses on understanding how brain stem cells interact with their surroundings, a process that plays a key role in aggressive brain tumours and diseases like Parkinson’s. Harry and his team are working on new ways to use the body’s immune system to fight tumours and exploring how stem cell therapies can safely and effectively repair damaged areas of the brain.

Mr. Bulstrode studied medicine in Cambridge and then Oxford, achieving First Class Honours. He trained in Neurosurgery in Southampton and Cambridge, then as fellow in London at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

Dr Harry Bulstrode, is a fantastic doctor. I had a micro discectomy carried out and he explained the procedure with great clarity. He is very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease even when talking about the potential risks. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone. The operation was carried out swiftly and the recovery was phenomenal, I was fully mobile and back to work within 7 days. Obviously no heavy lifting but strength is returning very nicely. A true credit to the medical field. Thank you.

I felt total confidence in Mr Bulstrode from the outset. He was friendly and reassuring. He came to see me on the ward when the operation was over. He told me that I would feel better after six weeks. This was true and I was out of pain as he had predicted. I am now able to walk unaided. I feel I have got my life back I am enormously grateful to Mr. Bulstrode.

Harry was in charge of my recent brain surgery. I have to thank him and his team for being so amazing throughout the whole process. People have asked if I was anxious about the operation and the truth is that I wasn't. Largely due to the excellent pre-op chat that I had with Harry. He put me at ease, he ensured I was in the best place possible and that they would take great care of me. Eternally grateful for you knowledge, skills and brilliance. All the best Johnathan

I would like to thank Dr Harry Bulstrode for performing a discectomy on me. Thanks to his excellent skills and knowledge I got my life back. Prior to the surgery I had been unable to walk for 7 months, experiencing severe pain on a daily basis. I tried everything that had been suggested by professionals, but nothing had worked for me so I decided to go for the surgical intervention. As a single mum of 2 young children it felt like my life was over. I was on a long term sick from my work , this caused me great distress and caused me to worry about loosing my job and my sense of identity. When I met Dr Bulstrode, I explained to him how I felt depressed and hopeless about my future. Dr Bulstorde came across as very experienced practitioner who passed om his thoughts in a considerate and compassionate manner, whilst appearing very humble. He explained in detail what needed to be done and made me aware of all the risks associated, which seemed to be nothing in comparison to my suffering at the time. We then agreed on the surgery date, which was performed by him and his team. I was well enough to go home on the same day! I am currently 3 months post discectomy and symptom free! I have now returned to work full time, I can walk, I caneven take my children out to the park, it feels as though I have been given my life back. I have now discontinued all my pain medications. I am getting over my depression. I cannot praise Dr Bulstrode enough. He is such a kind, understanding and approachable man. I have put all my trust into him and did not get disappointed. Thank you Doctor for ...
