About

Mr. Matthew Kent is an accomplished Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon specialising in shoulder and elbow surgery. He earned his degree from the University of Liverpool in 1999, and after completing his junior doctor training in the Merseyside region, he relocated to Cambridge to complete his specialist training in Trauma and Orthopaedics. The last year of his formal education was spent as a fellow covering upper limb trauma and elbow surgery. He then spent an additional year as a shoulder and elbow fellow at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals, in order to gain more specialised skills in this field from a unit internationally recognized for this type of work. Furthermore, he has visited specialist centres across Europe and North America to bring new skills and techniques back to Liverpool.

Mr Kent is now a Consultant at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, where he is helping to expand research in the unit. He is currently the lead for upper limb research, and also serves as Secretary to the North West Upper Limb Group, organising regular educational meetings for surgeons who specialise in treating patients with disorders of the upper limbs.

Mr. Kent is dedicated to providing a personalised service with treatments that focus on the individual's needs and expectations. He closely works with treating therapists to ensure optimal coordination of care and outcomes.
