Mr Jonathan Clamp is the Senior Consultant Spinal Surgeon and Head of Service for Spinal Surgery at the Royal Derby Hospital spinal centre. He is a fellowship-trained spinal surgeon with extensive expertise in the management of both adult and paediatric spinal conditions.
Mr Clamp’s clinical practice covers the full spectrum of spinal pathology, including degenerative spinal disorders, spinal trauma, metastatic spinal disease, and complex spinal deformity. He has a particular interest in conditions causing back pain, neck pain, arm pain, and leg pain, and routinely utilises advanced minimally invasive spinal surgical techniques to support recovery and improve patient outcomes.
He manages a high volume of highly complex spinal procedures, including anterior thoracic surgery, multi-level anterior lumbar surgery, and sophisticated three-dimensional adult spinal deformity correction surgery. His work frequently involves tertiary referral cases sent by other consultants due to the complexity of the conditions being treated.
In addition to surgical management, Mr Clamp is highly experienced in advanced spinal injection therapies. His expertise includes cervical and thoracic transforaminal epidural injections and atlanto-axial joint injections for complex spinal pain and neurological conditions.
Mr Clamp is also actively involved in spinal research, education, and surgical training. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, contributed chapters to specialist spinal textbooks, and produced operative technique guides for spinal procedures. He lectures extensively on spinal surgery and regularly serves as faculty on both national and international spinal surgery instructional courses, including advanced consultant-level training programmes.

I have been a patient of Mr clamp for 2 spinal surgeries, one at the royal derby hospital and the most recent one at the Nuffield derby, I have been very happy with both of them ,after being in pain for several years and now, thank you Mr clamp and your team for the care I received then and the after care I'm still receiving with regards Thank you LC Thank again
I was in serious trouble with back pain, after a lifting injury and had an MRI which confirmed I had impending Cauda Equina and needed urgent spinal surgery. I researched spinal surgeons and found Jonathan Clamp was highly reviewed. I made an appointment to see him and was immediately impressed with his calm, confident, knowledgable and pleasant manner. He explained all I needed to know and answered all the questions my wife and I were worried about. So, we chose him to do the urgent surgery required. I am so pleased we did. Throughout the pre operation procedures, the aftercare and recuperation Jonathan and his team were excellent. I felt in safe, caring hands at all times. The immediate result of the operation was euphoric! My pain was gone and I immediately felt so much better. The follow up, aftercare and physio support has been really helpful in me making a very good recovery. I had my last checkup and sign off with Jonathan Clamp last week, 2 months after the operation. Both my wife and I were extremely grateful for all he and the team have achieved. I genuinely feel I’ve got my life back. To be really honest, there were times in the last six months when I thought I would become disabled. I am now planning to continue my hobbies of Mountain walking and Blacksmithing, just as Jonathan Clamp promised when we first met. I thoroughly recommend him and will always appreciate his skills and professional work for me.
Follow up appointment from having L5 S1 fusion 6 weeks ago.
I had an extremely good experience. Explanation of the problem and how the procedure would help was clear and concise. I felt I was offered a first rate experience.
Consultation with Mr Clamp regarding sciatic pain and options. “Slipped disc” first week in August. MRI images explained so that I could understand. Injections instead of surgery proposed at this time given the multiple symptoms presenting. Very clear and concise consultation - honest and straightforward. I look forward (!?) to having the proposed injections and, at last hopefully, some relief from the terrible pain and discomfort sciatica is notorious for ! Thank you
Everybody was very professional professional and kind and the place is very clean and Mr clamp was very professional with me
My visit was for a ,6 monthly review following Spinal Surgery. I have had spinal issues for many years and I first met Mr.Clamp some 12 years ago. I have the utmost respect , confidence and admiration for him. He ihas a direct and concise way of explaining medical issues , but it is delivered with both sympathy and empathy. Although I still have some medical issues I truly believe that this man , through his skill , knowledge and dedication, has given me back my Life ! I will be eternally grateful to him .
Mr Clamp spoke to me and explained everything in a way I could understand without being patronising. He is extremely professional and filled me with confidence with what he told me. Friendly and reassuring at all times
Mr Clamp was professional and courteous and listened to my needs. He explained everything throughly and made sure I was safe at all times. The follow up was informative and I would be more than happy to stay in his care.
Jonathan Clamp is a great colleague that I am happy to endorse. He is a colleague I go to if I need a second opinion on a challenging spinal condition. He is valued member of the MDT in Derby and an excellent surgeon with good surgical outcomes.
