About Mr Simon Cockshott

Mr Simon Cockshott qualified from the University of Manchester in 1999 and subsequently completed his general orthopaedic training in the West Midlands, with valuable experience at the renowned Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Major Trauma Centre.

In 2014, he was appointed as a lower limb surgeon in Derby.

Specialising in knee and hip surgery, Mr Cockshott’s areas of expertise include knee arthroscopy, partial and revision knee replacements, and primary hip replacements. His extensive surgical experience is complemented by his unique background in pharmacy; prior to his medical training, he qualified as a pharmacist and worked in both the pharmaceutical industry and clinical settings.

I arrived earlier than the appointment time because I thought I may have to fill in a questionnaire, which I did. From there I went through to see Mr Cockshott, who was very attentive, caring and approachable. From his diagnosis, a further appointment was made for the following week, for treatment. Very happy.
