About Mr W James White

Mr W James White, Consultant Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon, works with the Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and provides private services at, The Lister Hospital Chelsea, The Shard-London Bridge Hospital, King Edward VIIs Hospital, Princess Grace Hopsital and New Vicoria Hospital Kingston. He is fully specialised in arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and upper limb trauma (shoulder/elbow/wrist). He endeavours to use non-operative techniques when possible. He has an excellent record of good outcomes from his surgery, rejecting a one-fit-all approach.

He is currently the Trauma lead for GSTT and Royal College Surgical Tutor for the Trust.

Mr White qualified in 2007 from University College London Medical School, before going on to start his specialist training on the Northwest London Programme in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Afterwards, he went on to complete several fellowships at Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Centre in Exeter and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London, both highly respected institutions.

Mr White has a significant publication history with numerous publications in medical journals and has presented his work internationally. He has also co-authored several book chapters focusing on upper limb surgery and has contributed to the development of National Guidelines for distal radius fracture treatment for the British Orthopaedic Association.

Very smooth engagement throughout. If you are experiencing problems with your shoulder don’t leave it too long before having it checked out. The procedure I experienced wasn’t as painful as it was rumoured to be.

I saw Mr .James White for a consultation on the. 17/06/2026.He was very professional and knowledgeable. He also put me at ease with a very caring manner. During the consultation, he quickly identified the likely cause of my health issue and took the time to explain everything clearly. He reassured me that, through further targeted investigations, we will be able to determine the exact cause of my upper arm problem. His professionalism, expertise, and caring attitude made me feel confident and well supported throughout the appointment. I am very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him.
