About Mr Jeya Palan

I trained in London at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, and then went on to gain a 1st class Immunology degree at University College London.

I've worked abroad in Brisbane (Australia), and my surgical training was in Oxford and Leicester. I've carried out specialist fellowship training in primary and revision hip and knee surgery at Nottingham, Coventry and Oxford. I have also undertaken travelling fellowships at the Mount Sinai centre in Toronto and Vancouver (Canada).

I have a PhD from Leicester looking at hip and knee replacement outcomes, and now I'm a Consultant Hip and Knee surgeon and senior lecturer at Chapel Allerton Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary.

I was President of BOTA (British Orthopaedics Trainees Association) and have served on the Royal College of Surgeons England and the British Orthopaedic Association councils.

I'm a keen researcher and have published over 40 research papers, have written several orthopaedic texts, and I've been the Associate Editor of the Bone and Joint Journal (the main British orthopaedic journal).

I'm delighted to be able to offer a private practice service for patients who are struggling with hip and knee arthritis, and who want to explore their options.

I have a great team around me to assist in your care, including Rachel, my private medical secretary. She is available for patient queries Monday to Friday, and my patients find her guiding support immensely helpful.

If you're struggling with hip or knee pain, and are looking for expert advice, or if you're considering ‘going private' to swiftly get the care that you need, I'm here to help.

From the initial consultation Mr. Palan explained all the procedures relating to my hip replacement clearly and concisely and I received extremely good care and attention from him before, during and post operation.

It's a pretty brutal operation so brace yourself, but Mr Palan and his team were fantastic, in fact they deserve medals for their skill and professionalism. The first 2 or 3 months were not too easy but everything was onwards and upwards thereafter. Many thanks to the team , you were brilliant.

Right from my first phone call to mr Palans medical secretary Rachel Pepperi who was really amazing showing kindness courtesy and a positive attitude to get me my appointment as soon as possible I do find this kind of caring nature a real rarity these days. As for mr Palan who I first saw in 2022 I had the same very approachable caring honest and professional treatment from a very decent and knowledgeable man

After months of pain in my left hip and thigh I made an appointment to see Mr Palan in order to discuss my options. After the appointment I decided to go ahead with a total hip replacement, which was arranged for a few weeks hence. This involved a one night stay in the hospital, excellent care from Mr Palan and all staff concerned. The operation was successful and I no longer have pain. After four months I am fully mobile and pain free. A very happy patient,

A pleasant meeting with Mr Palan when we both confirmed the hip replacement appears to have been a success. I do still have some residual pain, especially upon standing, after being seated, but I hope this will gradually disappear over the coming months. Mr Palan is a very approachable gentleman.
